Joint Targeting Cycle

The Joint Targeting Cycle is a systematic process used by military forces to identify and engage targets effectively. It involves several key steps: identifying objectives, gathering intelligence, selecting targets, planning actions, executing operations, and assessing the results. This cycle ensures that all military actions are coordinated, strategic, and based on accurate information, allowing for better decision-making and resource allocation. By continually reviewing and adapting their approach, military organizations can improve their effectiveness in achieving mission goals while minimizing risks and unintended consequences.
