The DIN set the framework for FSpecT policy within FSE; JSP 900 Edition 2 was released shortly afterwards. A review of JSP 900 Edition 2 is under way and it is expected that a new edition will be required to incorporate lessons identified from operations in Iraq and Syria.</p> answering member constituency Portsmouth North answering member printed Penny Mordaunt question first answered 09/03/2016 16:20:48 answering member 4017 label Biography information for Penny Mordaunt

tabling member constituency	Blaydon
tabling member printed	Mr David Anderson
uin	27212
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/02/2016 answer text <p>The UK Joint Targeting and Battle Damage Assessment Policy paper, dated 2005 established the baseline principles primarily for coordinating the delivery of lethal effects. This paper has been superseded by Joint Services Policy (JSP) 900 UK Targeting Policy - Edition 2 dated September 2015 which contains the policy and direction on targeting, and guidance on the processes involved and best practice to apply. UK Targeting policy has evolved to incorporate operational lessons identified through Full Spectrum Targeting, apportioning action (lethal and non-lethal) in accordance with desired policy outcomes, and to bring greater interoperability between the UK, NATO and the 5 Eyes Nations (Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the UK, and the US ). JSP 900 cannot yet be placed in the public domain as it would, or would be likely to prejudice the capability, effectiveness or security of the Armed Forces and forces cooperating with them. However, we are working to produce a releasable version which is to be published later in 2016.</p> answering member constituency Portsmouth North answering member printed Penny Mordaunt question first answered 25/02/2016 16:08:08 answering member 4017 label Biography information for Penny Mordaunt
