Module 20: Apply Your Knowledge
A "targeting-like" methodology can be used to develop and coordinate specific nonlethal actions
(e.g., KLE) much like developing and coordinating lethal fires. But there are specific
considerations that must be remembered while implementing the targeting-like methodology.
Read each statement below. Consider its immediate, primary effects as well as its downstream,
secondary effects. Write short answers under each effect. You do not need to use complete
sentences.
1. Many staffs are utilizing critical paths for their lines of operation that culminate in a decision
venue for the commander to achieve integrated action; however, these targeting efforts may be
unaligned. This leads to…?
Synchronize designated actions as appropriate at the operational level to avoid “effects fratricide.”
Delegate detailed tactical-level synchronization as appropriate to subordinate units and other
stakeholders.
2. Joint Targeting is described in doctrine as a core task of the fires function that encompasses
many disciplines and requires participation from many joint force staff elements and components
along with numerous non-military agencies and stakeholders. For the non-military agency, they
may not understand the differences between lethal and nonlethal actions. This unfamiliarity with
the nuances might…?
Be sensitive to non-military stakeholders’ perspectives opposing excessive expansion of the terms
“target” and “targeting” due to these terms’ more well-known and traditional ”lethal-oriented” connotations.
3. One option to integrate lethal and nonlethal activities includes keeping the JFE and J39 IO
separate under J3, but with increased crosstalk, combine in what many term an Effects
Coordination Center to oversee and integrate lethal targeting and information-related nonlethal
actions, and establish an inform and influence or communication actions staff element to focus
on planning and executing nonlethal communication activities. This could lead to…
The Joint Fires Element can be overwhelmed and the lethal targeting and fires function can be diluted if
given staff responsibility for planning and integrating all nonlethal actions (e.g., reconstruction,
engagement, reconciliation, etc.).
