text: Brigade Targeting
  SECTION II - FUNCTIONS
  3-5. As described in section I, brigades may build off the division's targeting products to ensure integration
  with higher HQ plan and to save time. This does not preclude the brigade staff from inherent targeting
  functions to meet its own commander's intent. These functions and products are explained in detail in the
  corresponding appendices.
  * Develop the HPTL.
  * Develop the AGM.
  * Establish TSS.
  * Develop and synchronize the information collection plan with targeting efforts.
  * Develop TSM
  * Nominate targets to higher HQ.
  * Synchronize desired effects with scheme of maneuver.
  * Integrate and synchronize all elements of the targeting team (targeting battle rhythm).
  * Receive and evaluate BDA.
  SECTION III - PLANNING
  TARGETING AND MILITARY DECISION-MAKING PROCESS
  3-6. The D3A methodology is an integral part of the MDMP. Targeting is inherently a planning function.
  Targeting begins with receipt of mission and continues through OPORD execution and assessment activities.
  The fast-paced, ever-changing nature of the battlefield at the brigade level presents challenges to the targeting
  process that the targeting team must consider:
  * Brigade operational timing and tempo (when and where targets will be acquired).
  * The brigade has limited organic assets with which to detect and must leverage the all-weather,
  ground reconnaissance of the assigned cavalry squadron to detect and deliver against targets in the
  brigade deep fight.
  * Targets are generally highly mobile.
  * Planning time is limited, and planners are often also executers.
  * Planning is primarily focused on future operations out to 24-48 hours.
  3-7. Integrating and synchronizing planning, execution and assessment is pivotal to the success of
  targeting. The targeting team must participate in all steps of MDMP. Understanding the objectives, intentions,
  capabilities, and limitations of all actors within the OE enables the maximum use of all available means to
  create desired effects and accomplish the mission.
  3-8. As the MDMP is conducted, targeting becomes more focused based on the commander's guidance and
  intent. Table 3-1 illustrates the relationship between the D3A methodology and the MDMP along with
  products generated during targeting.
