What's inside:

This publication documents tactics, techniques, and procedures for conducting Joint Theater Missile Target Development (JTMTD). It establishes a common framework for soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines responsible for intelligence preparation of the battlespace (IPB), sensor employment, collection management, current and future operations, target development, and force application. This common framework will enable them to establish a comprehensive and coordinated approach for countering theater missiles (TM) through prelaunch attack operations against the entire target system. This publication’s design recognizes that attack operations against TM is not a mission in itself, but a method of characterizing offensive operations regardless of mission area (e.g., counterair, interdiction, fire support, special operations, etc.) and is the responsibility of all forces.

This publication is intended to help the joint force commander (JFC) and subordinate component commanders’ staffs develop a cohesive approach to JTMTD. The term JFC as used in this publication implies a theater combatant commander (CINC) or subordinate JFC.

The tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) described in this publication apply to all elements of a joint force. This publication uses approved joint and Service doctrine and terminology as its foundation. It identifies methodologies applicable to national, theater, and component staffs involved in these tasks and contributes to effective use of joint resources and expediting timely attacks. JTMTD focuses on the detailed requirement of intelligence and targeting processes to support attack operations but also residually provides support to active and passive defense.
