text: Intelligence Preparation of the Battlefield
  Fires, for example, regimental artillery group (RAG), division artillery group (DAG), IV13, IV14,
  SNAR-10, or individual artillery and mortars.
  Protection, for example, ZSU-23-4, 2S6, straight flush radar, fan song radar, man-portable air
  defense systems, and heavy machine guns.
  Command and Control, for example, IV13, IV14, TOCs, and vehicles with multiple antennas.
  Intelligence, for example, twin box DF, dog-ear radar, scanners and local populace.
  Movement and Maneuver, for example, IMR, MT-55, PMM-2, GSP, MDK-2M, and BTM.
  Sustainment, for example, a list of assets key to the threat commander's execution of the primary
  mission is recorded. Then, the assets are ranked by their relative worth to the threat's operation.
  Throughout the course of an operation, the HVTs will change. The HVTs for the phase of each
  operation are recorded and annotated on the threat model. The LRS team should identify HVTs
  for their mission with the help of the unit staff.
  7-54. An HPT is a target whose loss to the threat commander, will contribute to the success of the
  friendly COA. HVTs and HPTs may be one in the same. In some OEs, HPTs might be key personalities.
  However, the loss of the enemy key personality might support the friendly COA, but may fail to deter the
  enemy from completing the COA.
  Link Analysis
  7-55. This tool identifies HVTs and HPTs in the OE. It is used to show contacts, associations and
  relationships between persons, events activities and organizations in an unconventional setting. Link
  analysis tools use link diagrams, association matrixes, relationship matrixes, activities matrixes and
  time-event charts. All help in identifying HVTs and HPTs in the OE.
  Link Diagram
  7-56. This tool seeks to graphically show relationships between people, locations, or other factors
  deemed significant in any given situation. It reflects information from both association and activities
  matrices, is easy to read and interpret and is generally an effective briefing tool. Link diagrams show
  participants in activities, personal and nonpersonal links, internal and external contacts, structures and lines
  of C2 (Figure 7-2).
