They create detailed reports to identify important targets, ensuring these targets are relevant and prioritized for attack. They fully assess and validate each target for accuracy.
Targeting Analysts also manage target lists, making sure targets are vetted, validated, and prioritized according to mission goals. They coordinate with other agencies to avoid conflicts.
In advanced target development, they determine the best weapons to use, calculate precise targeting coordinates, and estimate potential collateral damage, making recommendations to minimize it while following rules of engagement and laws of war.
They support mission planning across different domains, verifying task details with operators and higher-ups.
After an attack, they assess the damage and effectiveness, providing feedback and recommendations for improvements. They ensure intelligence is processed, analyzed, and shared to aid commanders and national leaders in decision-making.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
