Publisher's Synopsis
Targeting is part of the tactical decision-making process used to focus the battlefield operating systems (BO Ss) to achieve the commander's intent. The methodology used to translate the commander's intent into a plan is decide, detect, deliver, and assess. The functions associated with this methodology help the commander to decide what to attack with his fire support system, how to acquire those targets, and when those targets are found, how to attack them in a way that disrupts, delays, or limits the enemy's ability to achieve his objectives.
