WOBC Targeting Exam ACTUAL
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
What is the purpose of combat assessments? - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅To determine the
effectiveness of force employment during military operations.
What are the three elements of combat assessments? - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅Battle
Damage Assessments (BDA), Munition Effectiveness Assessment (MEA), Reengagement
Recommendation (Re-Attack)
What are the three components of BDA? - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅Physical Damage-
The quantitive extent of physical damage through munitions blast, Frag, or fire damage
effects to a target.
Functional Damage: The effect of attack on the target to perform its intended mission
compared to the operational objective established against the target.
Target System Assessment: A broad assessment of the overall impact and effectiveness of all
types of attack against an entire target systems capability
What is the Army targeting methodology? Explain the methodology. What's taking place in
each step? - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅D3A = Decide, Detect, Deliver, Assess
o Decide which targets to engage.
o Detect the targets.
o Deliver the appropriate effects (conduct the operation).
o Assess the effects of the engagement(s).
The D3A methodology organizes the efforts of the commander and staff to accomplish key
targeting requirements. In addition, D3A assists in the decision of who will engage the target
at the prescribed time. It also assists targeting working groups determine requirements for
combat assessment to assess targeting and attack effectiveness. The D3A methodology
facilitates the engagement of the right target with the right asset at the right time
, How many Target Categories are there? What are the sub-categories and give a brief
explanation about them. - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅Deliberate targeting prosecutes
planned targets.
o Deliberate targeting
Scheduled
On-Call
- Dynamic targeting prosecutes targets of opportunity and changes to planned targets or
objectives.
o Dynamic targeting
Unplanned
Unanticipated
Measures of Performance (MOP): - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅- Criteria for measuring task
performance or accomplishment
- Are we doing things right? (MOP-TR)
- MOP is used by the commander to assess whether his directives were executed by
subordinate units as intended or if the units were capable of completing the specified action.
Measures of Effectiveness (MOE): - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅- Used to assess changes in
system behavior, capability, or the operational environment.
- Are we doing the right things? (MOE-TRT)
- Measures the attainment of an end-state, objective, or effect.
- Indicates progress towards an effect / the avoidance of an undesired effect
What are the four targeting products? What are they? Purpose? What are they used for?
Specific content? Where in D3A are they developed? When are they refined? - CORRECT
ANSWERS✅✅- Attack Guidance Matrix.
o A targeting product approved by the commander, which addresses the how and when
targets are engaged and the desired effects.
- High Pay-off Target List.
o A prioritized list of high-payoff targets by phase of the operation.
- Targeting synchronization matrix.
