  SECTION II – ATTACK GUIDANCE MATRIX
  A-30. The attack guidance matrix is a targeting product approved by the commander, which addresses
  the how and when targets are engaged and the desired effects. The AGM sample in table A-11 provides
  guidance on what HPT should be attacked and when and how they should be attacked. Units may develop
  their own AGM format. The AGM includes the following elements:
  * High-payoff target. The HPT column is a prioritized list of HPTs by phase of the operation.
  * WHEN. The WHEN column indicates the time the target should be engaged. (See the table A-11)
  * HOW. This column indicates the weapon system that will engage the target.
  * EFFECT. The desired effects on the target or target system are stated in this column.
  * REMARKS. Remarks concerning whether or not BDA is required, whether coordination must
  take place, and any restrictions are indicated in this column.
