  effects. Due to their impact, some space capabilities and effects require synchronization and coordination
  across the entire staff. Some effects may prohibit friendly use of the space domain—knowingly or
  inadvertently—and the situational awareness of the space operation will enable the staff in taking the
  appropriate remediation actions and decisions.
  5-35. Targets not available for space effects through Army means may continue to joint echelons for
  processing. The targets may require additional joint force space assets or authorities to support the Army
  commander’s mission. This could result in the corps and below targets being included on the joint integrated
  prioritized target list.
  5-36. Targets described as systems with components and subcomponents that enable the determination of
  aimpoints for designated friendly force capabilities. An aimpoint is a point associated with a target and
  assigned for a specific weapon impact (JP 3-60). Developing targets suitable for space effects requires a
  concerted staff effort. Ultimately, commanders, with the assistance of their staffs decide to employ space
  capabilities alone or with other capabilities.
  Decide
  5-37. Decide is the first step in the targeting process. It begins with the MDMP. It does not end when the
  plan is completed; the decide function continues throughout the operation. Using the outputs from the
  planning process, commanders and staffs determine where and when space effects will support the concept
  of operations.
  5-38. Due to the nature of space operations, commanders should allow as much planning time as possible
  when requesting effects through the space domain. Army commanders are encouraged to consider space
  effects during the targeting process.
  5-39. An important part of this step in the targeting process is identifying potential adverse impacts and
  mitigating them. This requires coordination and synchronization on the part of the staff executing space
  operations. Any action in space domain, cyberspace, and the EME, either offensive or defensive, must be
  coordinated and balanced with potential degradation inflicted on friendly systems.
  5-40. During the decide step, the staff develops information regarding the space domain and targets by
  asking:
  * What targets can be affected?
  * What targets should be affected?
  * When and where are the targets likely to be identified, accessed, or otherwise engaged to create
  desired effects?
  * How long will the targets remain accessible?
  * What are the related information collection requirements essential to the targeting effort; and how
  and when must the information be collected, processed, and disseminated?
  * When, where, how, why, and in what priority should the targets be affected?
  * What are the measure of performance and measure of effectiveness?
  * What or who will obtain assessment or other information required for determining the success or
  failure of each engagement of target nodes?
  * Who must receive and process that information, how rapidly, and in what format?
  Detect
  5-41. Detect is the next critical function in targeting. The information collection plan is a critical component
  of the detect function. The staff must consider space operations requirements throughout the intelligence
  process. The G-2 serves a key role in developing and managing the information collection plan specific to
  space operations.
  5-42. The detailed analysis of enemy and friendly space systems provides information on enemy and
  adversary actions. During the detect step units gather the information needed to gain access, pair a capability,
  and develop the necessary intelligence to vet and validate nominated targets. After analysis, it may be
  possible to determine enemy intentions, when combined with other information. Planners attain situational
