  SECTION III - FUNCTIONS
  5-8. Targeting functions at the theater expand when compared to lower echelons. The targeting team must
  consider joint requirements as well as planning horizons and associated timelines for all other theater level
  planning cycles. Theater targeting teams must be adequately manned, trained, and equipped to perform all
  joint targeting tasks. The below lists highlights functions required at the theater:
  * Develop measures and indicators.
  * Develop and synchronize the information collection plan with targeting efforts.
  * Nominate targets to higher HQ.
  * Attend higher HQs battle rhythm events.
  * Synchronize desired effects with scheme of maneuver.
  * Integrate and synchronize all elements of the targeting team (joint targeting working group/joint
  targeting coordination board/and other bureaus, boards, centers, cells, and working groups).
  * Synchronize joint interagency multinational assets and organizations.
  * TST nomination, management, and execution.
  * Conduct joint target development (See current version of CJCSI 3370.01D).
  * Conduct target list management.
  * Conduct operational and combat assessment.
  SECTION IV - PLANNING
  5-9. The targeting process occurs in the context of joint operation planning, both before and during
  execution. This contributes to creating the commander JTF's desired effects and achieving objectives. During
  execution, commanders and planners continue to consider the tenets of multidomain operations (agility
  convergence, endurance, and depth) and adjust both current operations and future plans to capitalize on
  tactical and operational successes as the joint operation unfolds.
  5-10. Planning for joint operations is continuous across the range of military operations using the closely
  related, integrated, collaborative, and adaptive JPP. The JPP shares the same basic approach and problem-
  solving elements as the MDMP, such as mission analysis and COA development. The JPP promotes coherent
  planning across all levels of war and command echelons, whether the requirement is for a limited, single-
  phase operation such as noncombatant evacuation or for a multiphase campaign involving high-intensity
  combat operations.
  5-11. JPP is a less formal but proven analytical process, described in detail in JP 5-0, which provides a
  methodical approach to planning at any organizational level and at any point before and during joint
  operations. The focus of JPP is on the interaction between an organization's commander, staff, the
  commanders, and staffs of the next higher and lower commands and supporting commanders and their staffs.
  Although the ultimate product is an OPLAN or OPORD for a specific mission, the process is continuous
  throughout an operation. Even during execution, it produces plans and orders for future operations as well as
  fragmentary orders (referred to as FRAGORDs) that drive immediate adjustments to the current operation.
  5-12. Joint targeting is integral to joint operation planning and assessment. Some targeting activities occur
  concurrently with the steps of JPP during planning. It begins with the planning initiation and mission analysis
  steps of JPP and continues through publication of the OPLAN, OPORD, or FRAGORD. Detailed joint
  intelligence preparation of the operational environment, country assessments, and TSA set the stage for
  detailed targeting within the joint targeting cycle. Many products used to support joint operations are
  developed, maintained, and continuously updated as foundational information for targeting by combatant
  commands and combat support agencies.
  5-13. Integrating and synchronizing planning, execution, and assessment is pivotal to the success of
  targeting. Understanding the objectives, intentions, capabilities, and limitations of all actors within the OE
  enables the use of joint, interagency, and multinational means to accomplish tasks and create effects. Planning
  enables the targeting team to focus on creating the desired target effects that accomplish targeting-related
  tasks and objectives in support of the JFC's overall objectives and endstate, rather than simply servicing a list
