Warning Order A warning order is a preliminary notice of an order or action which is to
follow. A warning order is:
•Issued by the leader upon receipt of an order from higher. It is issued at the outset of the troop
leading steps (i.e., the "B" in BAMCIS) to allow subordinate leaders and units to maximize their
preparation time.
•At the conclusion of your initial planning, a warning order can be re-issued or updated.
•Don't delay issuing a warning order because you don't have all the information you would like
to have. Once more information is received, you can publish a second warning order or update
the previously issued warning order.
Issued to prepare subordinate units
,Operation Order An operation order is a directive issued by a leader to subordinate leaders
for the purpose of coordinating execution of an operation.
•Operation orders are used by leaders at every level and can be issued orally or in writing.
•Small unit operation orders are often referred to by the action they intend to produce. For
example:
Squad attack order
Patrol order
Platoon attack order
Platoon defense order
Convoy order
Issued to convey the commander's intent for the entire mission
Fragmentary Order A fragmentary order, or frag-o, is an abbreviated form of an operation
order, usually issued on a day-to-day basis that eliminates the need for restating information
contained in a base operations order. A frag-o is issued after an operation order to change or
modify that order or to execute a branch or sequel to that order.
•Fragmentary orders are often necessary due to enemy action. Remember: "No plan survives
contact with the enemy." Frequently, the information changed pertains to enemy situation,
mission, and execution of the plan.
•Fragmentary orders can only be issued if a complete combat order (known as a base order) has
been previously issued. Fragmentary orders should cover only the information that has changed
since the issuance of the base order.
