The theme of the conference is: "Time Critical Targeting: Reducing the Detection to Destruction Loop." Session I will focus on the question TCT: Where are we now?, to include: is TCT a subset of targeting or a stand-alone discipline? what is the status of current publications and training related to targeting? and how do the theater commanders specifically accomplish TCT today? The keynote speaker for session I will be Maj Gen Garry R. Trexler, USAF, Vice Director, Joint Staff. The session moderator will be Maj Gen Charles A. May, USAF (Ret). Panel members and their topics include: Col Edward J.

Session II will address the question TCT: Where are we going? to include: are service doctrines changing due to the TCT challenges? what initiatives are beginning now to better prosecute tomorrow's targets? and how can the targeting cycle be tightened for quicker kills? The session moderator will be RADM Richard C. Gentz, USN (Ret). Panel members and their topics include: Capt James A.

The final session will address Joint Integration Issues, focusing on: how does tasking, processing, exploitation and dissemination (TPED) impact TCT? what are TCT's cross-service, multi-intelligence and multi-platform integration challenges? and what is the role of ISR integration in TCT?
