text: Appendix B
  B-34. The G-6 (S-6) staff prepares annex H (Signal) and its appendixes. The G-6 (S-6) staff also collaborates
  with the G-3 (S-3) to prepare appendix 12 (Cyberspace Electromagnetic Activities) to annex C (Operations),
  with input from the G-2 (S-2) staff.
  B-35. The phases in the scheme of signal support match the phases of the base plan or order. The scheme of
  signal support outlines the priorities of support for each phase of the operation.
  B-36. Because there is often little time between course of action approval, the operation order brief, and
  orders production, it is useful for the signal staff to maintain a signal annex template. Using a template speeds
  up order production, since most recurring information pre-populates the appropriate paragraphs. The higher
  headquarters plan or order can also provide a useful framework. Table B-8 identifies the key inputs, planning
  process, and key outputs for step 7.

  Paragraph 5 (Command and Signal) of Operation Plans and Orders
  B-37. The G-6 (S-6) usually writes paragraph 5 (Command and Signal) of the base plan or order. The G-6
  (S-6) lists task-organized units in the appropriate annexes. Figure B-1 on page B-13 shows a sample
  paragraph 5 for an operation order.
