  commanders, appropriate agencies, or the JFC staff for further development and inclusion on the JTL or RTL
  or moved to the NSL (see the current version of CJCSI 3370.01D).
  DYNAMIC TARGETING
  1-33. Dynamic targeting is targeting that prosecutes targets identified too late or not selected for action in
  time to be included in deliberate targeting (JP 3-60). Dynamic targeting accounts for the unpredictability of
  the threat and prosecutes targets of opportunity during current operations. Targets of opportunity are targets
  identified during execution that require the targeting team to account for changes to the previously planned
  actions, current assets available and risks to immediate execution.
  1-34. There are two types of targets of opportunity: unplanned and unanticipated. The differences are as
  follows:
  * Unplanned targets are known to exist in the AO, but no action has been planned against them. The
  target may not have been detected or located in sufficient time to meet planning deadlines.
  Alternatively, the target may have been located, but not previously considered of sufficient
  importance to engage.
  * Unanticipated targets are unknown or not expected to exist in the AO.
  TIME-SENSITIVE TARGETS
  1-35. A time-sensitive target is a joint force commander-validated target or set of targets requiring immediate
  response because it is a highly lucrative, fleeting target of opportunity or it poses (or will soon pose) a danger
  to friendly forces (JP 3-60). A time-sensitive target (TST) is of such high importance to the accomplishment
  of the JFC mission and objectives or one that presents such a significant strategic or operational threat to
  friendly forces or allies, that the JFC dedicates intelligence collection and attack assets to ensure success.
  1-36. TSTs comprise a very small or limited number of planned targets due to the required investment of
  assets and potential disruption of planned execution and are only those targets designated by the JFC and
  identified as such in the JFC guidance and intent. TSTs are normally executed rapidly; however, to be targeted
  successfully, they require considerable deliberate planning and preparation within the joint targeting cycle.
  Army units should be aware of the theater TST matrix.
  COMPONENT CRITICAL TARGETS
  1-37. Echelons designated as the land component commander (LCC) will identify and nominate component
  critical targets. Service component commanders may designate high-priority targets that present significant
  risks to, or opportunities for component forces and missions. These are generally targets that the Service
  component commander(s) have nominated to the JFC TST list but were not approved as TSTs. This class of
  targets known as component critical targets may still require dynamic execution with cross-component
  coordination and assistance in an expedited manner. The JFC and Service component commanders should
  clearly designate these targets prior to execution of military operations. These targets should receive the
  highest priority possible, just below targets on the JFC TST list.
  SENSITIVE TARGETS
  1-38. Certain targets require special care or caution in treatment because failure to engage them or to engage
  them improperly can lead to major adverse consequences. Examples include leader targets (high-value
  individuals [HVI]) that must be handled sensitively due to potential political repercussions; targets located
  in areas with a high risk of collateral damage; and weapons of mass destruction facilities, where an attack
  can lead to major long term environmental damage. Such targets are often characterized as "sensitive" in one
  respect or another, without having the intrinsic characteristics, by definition, of a sensitive target.
  Nonetheless, the way they are attacked is sensitive and may require coordination with and approval from the
  JFC or higher authorities. In most cases, it is best to establish criteria for engaging such targets in as much
  detail as possible during planning, before combat commences. For a comprehensive definition of sensitive
  targets see the current version of CJCSI 3122.06E.
