The JIB drives JSOC's targeting enterprise by illuminating the enemy with unfailing precision for prosecution by the most elite and surgically employed combat forces in the world. The JIB is one of only a handful of organizations that maintains the mandate to recruit, assess, and select each of its members. Every member of the JIB is selected and hired by current members of the Brigade. 3.
