  ASSESSMENT WORKING GROUP
  E-11. The assessment working group is the battle rhythm event that allows staffs to formally assess changes
  in the operational environment and determine if effects are achieving operational objectives. After operations
  and target execution have begun, it is imperative the assessment working group meets before the targeting
  working group for the upcoming targeting cycle. This ensures the targeting team is armed with the most up
  to date assessment of the operational environment and understands the progress toward operational
  objectives. Assessment is a key step in Army and Joint targeting methodologies and thus makes the
  assessment working group and targeting meetings inextricably linked in the battle rhythm. Targeting team
  members must participate in the assessment working group as subject matter experts in the application and
  assessment of their respective effects on the operational environment. Targeting specific related inputs to the
  assessment working group can include the following:
  * Current assessment of enemy composition and disposition.
  * Assessment of intelligence collection operations during the assessed targeting cycle.
