OPERATION ORDER. An operation order (OPORD) is a directive issued by a leader to his subordinates in order to effect the coordinated execution of a specific operation. A five paragraph format (example shown in Figure 2-8) is used to organize the briefing, to ensure completeness, and to help subordinate leaders understand and follow the order. Use a terrain model or sketch along with a map to explain the order. When possible, such as in the defense, give the order while observing the objective. The platoon/ squad leader briefs his OPORD orally off NOTES that follow the five paragraph format. Before the issuance of the OPORD, the leader ensures that the following resources are in place: pencil, pen, paper, RHB, map, protractor. Leader’s monitor subordinates. Then he calls roll and says, "Please hold all questions till the end."
