Joint targeting cycle training at a NATO air operations centre
Two-week programme covering deliberate and dynamic targeting, board readiness and BDA, with a final tabletop exercise integrated to a partner-nation deployment.
Targeting · Capability 02
Decision-anchored targeting.
Joint and dynamic targeting support for HQs, air components and joint targeting boards. The F2T2EA cycle, deliberate targeting boards and BDA — trained, exercised and reviewed against NATO AJP-3.9.
What we deliver
The specific offerings.
- Joint targeting cycle training. End-to-end coverage of deliberate and dynamic targeting, aligned to NATO AJP-3.9.
- F2T2EA fluency. Find, Fix, Track, Target, Engage, Assess — trained as a staff discipline, not just an air-component skill.
- Deliberate targeting board readiness. Board chair training, staff briefings, and the analytical inputs each board requires.
- Battle damage assessment. Confidence-laddered BDA reporting using the Absent-to-Confirmed framework.
- Collateral concern & legal envelope. Embedded ROE and legal-anchor training within the targeting workflow.
How we do it
Methodology.
Targeting is a downstream consequence of a decision. We anchor every targeting exercise to a named commander decision, a threshold-judgement framework, and a Decision Support Requirement — not to a notional target deck.
Cohorts run a deliberate targeting board, then move to dynamic targeting under time pressure with injects that test both the F2T2EA mechanics and the underlying decision-support workflow.
BDA is treated as a confidence-laddered analytical product. We train cohorts to express convergence states (Isolated, Partially, Strongly, Fully) explicitly and against the UK PHIA Probability Yardstick.
