  3-32. The joint targeting cycle is a six-phase iterative process: commander's objectives, targeting guidance
  and intent, target development and prioritization, capabilities analysis, commander's decision and force
  assignment, mission planning and force execution, and combat assessment (see figure 3-2). Steps may occur
  concurrently, but it provides an essential framework to describe the steps that must be satisfied to conduct
  joint targeting successfully. To enable joint targeting the JFC establishes a joint targeting coordination board.
  A joint targeting coordination board is a group formed by the joint force commander to accomplish broad
  targeting oversight functions that may include, but are not limited to, coordinating targeting information;
  providing targeting guidance, synchronization, and priorities; and approving the joint integrated prioritized
  target list (JP 3-60). For more information on the Army targeting process and the joint targeting cycle see
  FM 3-60 and JP 3-60.
