Military Targeting

Military targeting is the process of selecting and prioritizing specific enemy assets, locations, or personnel to strike, aiming to achieve strategic objectives while minimizing harm to civilians and collateral damage. It involves careful planning, intelligence gathering, and legal considerations to ensure the use of force is justified, precise, and proportionate. Effective targeting balances military needs with ethical responsibilities, often using detailed criteria such as strategic value, potential civilian impact, and adherence to international laws and rules of engagement.
