  PLANNED TARGETS AND AIR MISSIONS
  E-4. Targeting seeks to create specific desired effects through lethal and nonlethal actions. There are two
  targeting categories: deliberate targeting and dynamic targeting. Deliberate targeting generally provides more
  planning time and a larger pool of resources to leverage against a target, while dynamic targeting is generally
  restricted by time, resources available, and command priorities (see table E-1). Deliberate targeting
  prosecutes planned targets. These targets are known to exist in the AO and have actions scheduled against
  them. Both scheduled and on-call targets are outputs of deliberate targeting. Scheduled targets exist in the
  AO and are located in sufficient time so that fires or other actions upon them occur at a specific, planned
  time. On-call targets have actions planned, but not for a specific delivery time. The commander expects to
  locate these targets in sufficient time to execute planned actions. Scheduled air missions are planned to
  execute scheduled targets, while on-call air missions are planned for the execution of on-call targets. Both
  scheduled and on-call air missions are requested via the AIRSUPREQ process. For more information on
  targets and targeting see FM 3-60.

  AIRSUPREQ (USMTF D670)
  A means of digitally submitting requests for joint air support when tactical Army echelons identify
  targets that require effects exceeding their organic capabilities or when other requirements for joint
  air power are identified during the planning process. Scheduled air missions are tasked to
  prosecute JFC approved JIPTL targets. On-call missions are tasked to prosecute non JIPTL
  targets withing the Army AO.

  JFC – joint force commander, JIPTL – joint integrated prioritized target list, JTL – joint target list,
  RTL – restricted target list, USMTF D670 – United States message text format D670
  E-5. Scheduled targets are prosecuted with scheduled air missions. Scheduled targets are derived from the
  JFC approved joint target list (JTL) and restricted target list (RTL). When scheduled targets are approved for
  execution by the JFC, they will be included on the joint integrated prioritized list and sourced on the ATO
  for execution at a specific time. Scheduled air missions tasked to execute scheduled targets in support of the
  ground force have weapon loadouts tailored to achieve specific effects on targets. Scheduled air missions
  provide the greatest effects on targets but have the least flexibility for re-tasking and relatively short on-
  station times.
  E-6. On-call targets can be prosecuted with on-call air missions. On-call air missions will be listed on the
  ATO for a specific block of time as either airborne-alert or ground-alert. The block of time is determined
  based on the anticipated target type, disposition, composition, target location or target area, and
