  Targeting Checklist
  Targeting is a very complex and challenging process. There are many considerations
  and variables that impact the ability of the targeting team to plan and execute with
  efficiency. The below checklist, like many of the appendices, is intended to be printable
  and used throughout planning and execution to minimize mistakes and missed
  opportunities.
  SECTION I – DECIDE
  A-1. _____The commander's planning guidance and intent contain enough detail to enable the targeting
  working group to determine:
  * HVTs to nominate as HPTs.
  * Desired effects on each HPT.
  * When to attack each HPT.
  * How to attack each HPT.
  * Any restrictions or constraints.
  * Which HPT requires BDA.
  A-2. _____What targeting assets (organic, attached, and supporting) are available to detect and attack
  HPTs?
  A-3. _____What detect, deliver, and assess support is needed from higher HQ?
  A-4. _____When must requests to higher HQ be submitted to obtain the support required?
  A-5. _____Have target tracking responsibilities been established?
  A-6. _____Are systems in place to pass the detected targets to assets that are capable of tracking them?
  A-7. _____What detect, deliver, and assess support is required from subordinate units, and when is it
  required?
  A-8. _____What detect, deliver, and assess support requests have been received from subordinate units, and
  what has been done with them?
  A-9. _____Has the TSM been synchronized with the decision support template and the maneuver and FS
  plans?
  A-10. _____Are all commands using a common datum for locations? If not, are procedures in place to correct
  differences in datum?
  A-11. _____Are all commands on a common time zone standard?
  SECTION II – DETECT
  A-12. _____Does the collection plan focus on PIRs and finding the necessary HPTs?
  A-13. _____What accuracy, timeliness, and validity standards TSS are in effect for detection and delivery
  systems?
  A-14. _____Are all target acquisition assets fully employed?
  A-15. _____Have alternate target acquisition systems been identified for HPTs?
