  A-3. As the staff, FSCOORD, and FS planners build the COA, they determine how best to create the
  commander's desired effects. FS planning serves as a basis for identifying EFSTs and for preparing the
  subsequent FS plan. The staff and FS planners determine where to find and attack enemy formations to create
  desired effects.
  A-4. EFSTs are synchronized and executed with other combined arms tasks. The FSCOORD considers the
  enemy COA and the IPOE, of where the enemy formations, functions or capabilities can be found and
  attacked. The staff graphically portrays these locations using target areas of interest or EAs. Certain sub-
  elements, capabilities, or equipment sets within the formations may be more vulnerable to attack or provide
  the highest payoff if attacked. These are further identified or refined as HPTs. See table A-2 for an example
  of an EFST.
