Which document is a prioritized list of targets approved and maintained by the JFC?

• A. A prioritized list of targets approved and maintained by JFC
• B. Named Area of Interest
• C. Target Areas of Interest
• D. Joint Integrated Prioritized Target List (JIPTL)

Answer: (D)

The concept being tested is the formal, joint targeting backbone used to direct operations. The Joint Integrated Prioritized Target List is the document that the Joint Forces Commander approves and keeps up to date, ranking targets in order of priority so planners across components can synchronize actions and allocate effects efficiently. Named Area of Interest is a geographic frame for collection and surveillance, not a targeted, prioritized list. Target Areas of Interest refers to areas of interest for potential targets but does not denote an official, JFC-maintained prioritized target list.
