  of targets or basing targeting decisions on the availability of particular weapons, platforms, or system. Theater
  organizations may federate targeting tasks and elements of planning to subordinate or supporting
  organizations.
  SECTION V - SYNCHRONIZATION
  5-14. The battle rhythm events at the theater army (primary synchronization mechanism) become
  progressively complex due to the increase in organizations, agencies, and enablers contributing to the
  targeting effort. The additional roles performed at these echelons place a greater demand on synchronizing
  internal and external elements in support of operations. In addition to a greater number of contributors,
  coordinating the parallel and supporting bureaus, boards, cells, centers and working groups (referred to as
  B2C2WGs) within the staff must be emphasized to ensure integration and maximize the joint targeting
  working group and joint targeting coordination board.
  BATTLE RHYTHM EVENTS
  5-15. The joint force battle rhythm and the JFC's decision cycle are two factors that affect planning at this
  echelon. The targeting team must be keenly aware of supporting component processes (such as the air tasking
  cycle and cyber tasking cycle) to ensure the joint force battle rhythm and decision cycles are nested within
  the joint targeting cycle.
  JOINT TARGETING WORKING GROUP
  5-16. The targeting working group membership should include SMEs in all capabilities. The integration of
  capabilities to create lethal and nonlethal effects should be a function of all phases of joint operations. The
  joint targeting working group should be flexible enough to consider all capabilities for appropriate targeting.
  Members may include but are not limited to the following:
  * BCD.
  * Air operations center.
  * Higher HQ.
  * Components (JFLCC, joint force air component commander, joint force maritime component
  commander).
  * Theater fires command or element.
  * Target production centers.
  * Multinational and unified action partners (as applicable).
  * Special Operations Joint Task Force.
  * Any relevant Intelligence Community members Defense Intelligence Agency, National Security
  Agency, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Department of State).
  * United States Space Command (referred to as USSPACECOM) or designated representative.
  * United States Cyber Command (referred to as USCYBERCOM) or designated representative.
  * Theater Combat Aviation Brigade.
  * MIB-T.
  * Army Air and Missile Defense Command (referred to as AAMDC).
  * MDTF.
  JOINT TARGETING COORDINATION BOARD
  5-17. The joint targeting coordination board provides a forum in which components, organizations, agencies,
  and staff sections can articulate strategies and priorities for future operations to ensure they are synchronized
  and integrated. The joint targeting coordination board normally facilitates and coordinates targeting activities
  with the schemes of maneuver to ensure that the commander's priorities are met. Specific targeting issues are
  resolved by direct coordination between elements below the level of the joint targeting coordination board.
  The joint targeting coordination board is the primary forum to enable the commander to make targeting
  decisions, validate targets, and provide guidance. Attendees of the board are often mission dependent. The
