What type of targets are engaged utilizing the F2T2EA methodology?

The F2T2EA methodology stands for Find, Fix, Track, Target, Engage, and Assess. This process is particularly designed for engaging time-sensitive targets, which require rapid response due to their fleeting nature or the potential consequences of their actions. Time-sensitive targets often include high-value or high-risk objectives that could change location or status quickly, necessitating immediate action to prevent an adversary from achieving their goals or to capitalize on a transient opportunity.

Engaging these targets effectively involves the steps outlined in the F2T2EA methodology, ensuring that forces can rapidly identify and engage them before they disappear or become less relevant. This process highlights the urgency and fluidity that characterize operations against such targets, differentiating them from static, zone, or personnel targets, which may not require the same quick response or adaptation strategies. Each of those other target types typically has a more stable presence, allowing for more time to plan and execute engagements.
