OPORDs
• Plans and orders are the means by which
commanders express their visualization, intent
and decisions.
• They focus on results the commander expects to
achieve.
– Provides the “what” and “why” of a mission

the purpose of effecting the coordinated execution of an operation.
• Has 5 paragraphs and descriptions of the following:
– Task organization
– Situation
– Mission
– Execution
– Administrative and logistical support
– Command and signal for the specified operation
– Command and Control Procedures

Terms
• Commander’s Intent
– A clear, concise statement of what the force must do and the
conditions the force must meet to succeed with respect to the
enemy, terrain, and desired end state. Contains three
components.
• End State: Consists of those conditions, that when achieved,
accomplish the mission.
• Key Tasks: Tasks that the force must perform as a whole or
the conditions that the force must meet to achieve the end
state.
• Purpose: Does not restate why, addresses the broader
operational context of the mission.

Concept of the operation
– Describes how commanders see the actions of subordinate units
fitting together to accomplish the mission (integration and
synchronization). At a minimum it includes the scheme of maneuver
and concept of fires.
Scheme of maneuver
– Addresses decisive, shaping, and sustaining operations, including
security operations.
• Decisive operations: operations that directly accomplish the task
assigned by the higher headquarters.
• Shaping operations: operations that create and preserve
conditions for the success of the decisive operation.
• Sustaining operations: operations that enable shaping and
decisive operations by providing combat service support, rear
area and base security, movement control, terrain management,
and infrastructure development.

Battle Command and
Decision Making
• Battle Command
– The exercise of command in operations against a
hostile, thinking opponent. Decision making and
leadership are two aspects of battle command.
• Decision making
– Requires commanders to judge the quality of
information received. It also requires the to focus
subordinates and staff on information they consider
important.

Commander’s Critical
Information Requirements
(CCIRs)
• Elements of information required by commander’s
that directly affect decision making and dictate the
successful execution of military operations.
• CCIRs belong to the commander alone. They are
not static; commanders add, delete, adjust and
update them throughout the operation.
From Intelligence, Action

Friendly Forces Information
Requirements

Priority Information Requirements
• PIRs are those intelligence requirements for
which a commander has an anticipated and stated
priority in his task of planning and decision-making.
• PIRs are associated with a decision based on
action or inaction or the battlespace that will affect
the overall success of the commander’s mission.
• Answers to the PIRs help produce intelligence
essential to the commander’s situational
understanding and decisionmaking.
