Joint Targeting School

The Joint Targeting School provides mid-career military operations and intelligence personnel destined for unified commands, the Joint Staff, defense agencies, and service-designated targeting positions with formal training in the intricate processes that govern the targeting procedures used by various units within a joint operation.

These processes ensure the right weapon hits the proper target.

There are four training opportunities offered by the school:

• The Joint Targeting Staff Course is a three-week course providing the only Department of Defense venue for formal joint operational-level targeting training. Attendees include operations, plans, and intelligence personnel from the Joint Staff, unified command staffs, and joint force-eligible component staffs. Quotas are available for supporting national agencies and lower echelon component command staffs.

• The Joint Targeting Applications Course is a two-week course designed to provide operational-level operations and intelligence personnel with a detailed background in weapons employment considerations and methods.

• The Joint Targeting School also offers a one-week Battle Damage Assessment Course for operations and intelligence personnel involved in the battle damage assessment (BDA) process. This course provides students with a detailed background in damage assessment and the flow of information during the three phases of BDA.

For localized training, the school offers Mobile Training Teams that are designed to provide on-site familiarization level training over the entire Joint Targeting Cycle.

The Joint Targeting School supports the command’s Joint Force Trainer mission through the Joint Warfighting Center.
