FM 3-60 provides guidance on targeting processes and procedures used by the United States Army. This manual has applicability in any theater of operations. The manual offers considerations for commanders and staffs in preparing for challenges with targeting throughout the competition continuum yet is flexible enough to adapt to a dynamic situation. FM 3-60 replaces Army Techniques Publication (ATP) 3-60, Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures for the targeting process. FM 3-60 is written to align with other operations, intelligence, and fires doctrinal publications.

Field Manual (FM) 3-60, describes the tactics, techniques, and procedures associated with effectively applying a targeting methodology to integrate and synchronize capabilities to create desired effects on targets and enable positions of relative advantage during the conduct of operations.

Successful targeting requires that commanders and their staffs possess—

l  An understanding of the functions associated with the targeting process.

l  The knowledge of the capabilities and limitations of organic and supporting collection, target acquisition and delivery systems.

l  An appreciation of the key aspects of each domain and the physical, information, and human dimensions of the operational environment.

l  Decisive points necessary to reach convergence for each echelon.

FM 3-60 applies to the Active Army, Army National Guard/Army National Guard of the United States, and United States Army Reserve unless otherwise stated.
