What is the purpose of the Target List Worksheet (TLWS)?

• A. A log of friendly forces positions.
• B. A document that consolidates all planned geographical targets for a specific phase of an operation, assigning them numbers and locations.
• C. A map of air corridors for an operation.
• D. A PMCS checklist.

Answer: (B)

The Target List Worksheet is used to consolidate all planned geographical targets for a specific phase of an operation, assigning each target a number and a location. This creates a single, organized reference that supports targeting planning, prioritization, and coordination across units, ensuring everyone knows which targets are being pursued, where they are, and how they fit into the overall attack sequence. It also facilitates tracking target status, changes, and deconfliction as the operation evolves, and it links targets to sensors, weapons, and tasking to units.

It’s not a log of friendly forces positions, a map of air corridors, or a PMCS checklist, which is why those options don’t fit.
