Operation Order - ANSWER-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.

Team patrol order
-
,Platoon attack order

Convoy order
Fragmentary Order - ANSWER-A fragmentary order, or frag-o, is an abbreviated form of an operation
order, usually issued on a daily basis, eliminating the need to restate information contained in a base
operation 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 only cover the information that has changed since the
issuance of the base order.

greater need for brevity and simplicity."
•Ensure that your orders reach your Marines in time to affect their actions.
•Orders must be executed in a timely manner. General Patton observed, "...that a good plan violently
executed now is better than a perfect plan executed next week."
•Do not develop long, complicated orders. Speed is more important than technique.
, Transfer of Information - ANSWER-Team leaders must generate an order primarily from the information
provided by the squad leader's order.
•While some items transfer directly (e.g., orientation), other elements need to be modified to make
them relevant to a particular team.
•For example, the task to first team in the squad leader's order becomes that team's mission.
