  DELIBERATE TARGETING
  1-15. Deliberate targeting prosecutes planned targets. These targets are known to exist in the area of
  operations (AO) and have actions scheduled against them. Examples range from targets on target lists in the
  applicable plan or order, targets detected in sufficient time to be placed in the joint air tasking cycle, mission
  type orders, or FS plans.
  1-16. There are two types of planned targets: scheduled and on-call. The differences are as follows:
  * Scheduled targets exist in the AO and are located in sufficient time so that fires or other actions
  upon them are identified for engagement at a specific, planned time.
  * On-call targets have actions planned, but not for a specific delivery time. The commander expects
  to locate these targets in sufficient time to execute planned actions.
  Target Development
  1-17. All Army forces conduct target development. Target development procedures in Army formations are
  often less formal and typically standard operating procedure (SOP) dependent. Army units are not typically
  manned or equipped to conduct to standard joint target development tasks in accordance with CJCSI
  3370.01D. Augmentation my come from external sources, requiring targeting teams to understand targeting
  tasks, required skills, and necessary equipment.
  1-18. Target development is the systematic examination of potential target systems— and their components,
  individual targets, and even elements of targets— to determine the necessary type and duration of the action
  that must be exerted on each target to create an effect that is consistent with the commander's specific
  objectives (JP 3-60). Target development includes functions such as target research, nomination,
  deconfliction, aimpoint recommendation, target materials production, and collateral damage estimation.
  1-19. Target development includes but is not limited to, the function, criticality, and vulnerabilities of each
  potential target, linking targets back to targeting objectives and measures of effectiveness. Target
  development is often dependent on the time and assets available. Development may take weeks to months at
  joint echelons and potentially minutes to hours at tactical echelons.
  Target types
  1-20. Before beginning target development, the type of entity target must be established. There are five types
  of entity targets. Often referred to as the FIVE-O target types, they are Facilities, Individuals, Virtual,
  Equipment, and Organizations.
  1-21. Facility. A facility is a physical structure, group of structures, or area that performs one or more
  functions that contributes to a threat capability. In the context of entity-level target development, these
  measurable geophysical parameters define the real property boundary and ensure no target duplication or
  boundary conflicts break unique identification. All facility target elements must reside within the facility
  boundary.
  1-22. Individual. An individual is a person who provides one or more functions that contribute to a threat
  capability. Reserve the individual entity type for personnel that offer unique or critical functions to the threat.
  If an individual is only valuable due to their contribution to another target (for example, common soldiers or
  workers), the individual belongs to the personnel element of that target.
  1-23. Virtual. A virtual entity is a collection of programs, files, or code dependent on each other to perform
  a function for the threat. Consider programs, files, data, data paths, signals, and code with the purpose of
  enabling equipment to function as a virtual element of equipment. This equipment may in turn be an element
  of an organization, facility, or individual.
  1-24. Equipment. An equipment entity is an object made up of any number of devices and components,
  integrated and codependent, upon which engagement of one-component results in an effect upon the whole.
  Consider mass produced equipment (to include tanks, aircraft, and trucks) as target elements of the target
  type to which they contribute.
