What is the primary output of the 'Find' step?

• A. Potential targets detected/nominated for tasking
• B. Location of potential target
• C. Target engagement plan
• D. Assessment of effects

Answer: (A)

The Find step is all about spotting potential targets from the available data and moving them forward for action. The main result is a list of detected targets that are nominated for tasking—basically candidates flagged to be prioritized for further processing, measurement, or tasking to sensors or weapons teams. This happens before you’ve pinned down exact locations or picked a concrete engagement plan, which come in later steps. Locations, specific engagement plans, and post-action assessments are outputs of later phases: precise target coordinates come after Fix, the engagement plan after planning, and effects assessment after execution.
