Which three products do targeting officers develop during the MDMP?

• A. HPTL, AGM, and TSM
• B. Target list overlay, draft FSCMs, and EFSTs
• C. Draft observer plan, risk management plan, and attack guidance matrix
• D. Scheme of fires, fires plan, and TA plan

Answer: (A)

The targeting phase in MDMP centers on prioritizing what to strike and how to strike it, so three key products guide that effort: a High-Payoff Target List, an Attack Guidance Matrix, and a Target Synchronization Matrix. The High-Payoff Target List identifies targets whose neutralization would most degrade the enemy’s ability to fight and who are prioritized for action. The Attack Guidance Matrix takes those targets and maps the recommended effects, munitions, assets, and sequencing needed to deliver them, translating priority into concrete attack guidance. The Target Synchronization Matrix then shows when and how those targets will be engaged in coordination with fires, ISR, and maneuver, ensuring a cohesive, synchronized plan. Other outputs like visualization overlays or fire-support coordination measures are important for planning and coordination, but they come from different steps or functions and are not the three targeting products generated specifically to drive targeting decisions during MDMP.
