  Movement Order--This stand-alone order facilitates an uncommitted, typically administrative,
  unit movement. While the arrangement of the troops and vehicles should expedite their
  movement and conserve time and energy, they should still maintain 360-degree security.
  Warning Order--This notifies of an upcoming order or action. The WARNO can, but need not,
  follow the standard five-paragraph OPORD format.
  Confirmation Brief--No later than 30 minutes after receiving the unit OPORD, each subordinate
  leader gives his higher commander a confirmation brief. This demonstrates his understanding
  of the higher unit OPORD. It also ensures the correct focus during mission planning.
  COA or Decision Brief--The team conducts a METT-TC analysis, analyzes possible COAs,
  develops and compares war games. The team leader then briefs the commander on his chosen
  COA, explaining the criteria he used to choose it over other possible COAs. When the team
  leader finishes his briefing, the commander approves, disapproves, or modifies the COA and
  gives guidance on finalizing the team plan.
  Operations Order--The unit leader uses the OPORD to coordinate the actions of subordinates in
  the execution of an operation. Sometimes called the five-paragraph field order, this order
  describes, at a minimum, the task organization, situation, mission, execution, administrative
  and logistics support, and command and signal requirements for the specific operation.
  Fragmentary Order--An abbreviated OPORD, used to update the original OPORD. Fragmentary
  orders (FRAGO) can be issued anytime. Although the FRAGO follows the five-paragraph
  OPORD format, it normally only includes the paragraphs or items that have changed. New
  missions or significant mission changes require a new OPORD rather than just a FRAGO.
  Backbrief--A briefing by subordinates to the commander to review how subordinates intend to
  accomplish their mission (FM 1-02). The backbrief can be a formal or informal presentation.
  During the backbrief, each leader conveys detailed information about the planned mission as he
  understands it. This gives the recipient of the briefing an idea of the leader and unit's ability to
  conduct a planned mission. After listening to the subordinate leader's backbrief, each leader
  briefs back his own understanding of the mission to his higher as required. The unit SOP
  usually identifies who briefs whom and what must be briefed.
  PLANNING PROCEDURES
  4-7. The LRSU uses detailed planning procedures to enhance mission planning and OPSEC. Unit
  SOPs and leaders cover planning procedures in detail. Each LRSU should have a planning facility, with
  a separate planning area for each team planning for a mission. In the planning area, the team only sees
  mission-essential personnel such as the LNO, members of the planning cell, or others on the access
  roster. The unit maintains OPSEC at all times to avoid compromising the teams and the mission. "Need
  to know" applies: The less each Soldier knows about the other teams' missions, the less can be divulged
  in case of capture.
  4-8. The planning facility location can vary, but the unit can locate it wherever they can achieve the
  objective of separating a LRS team during planning from the remainder of the unit. A planning facility
  can be located at an intermediate staging base, depending on the unit's deployment plan. The planning
  facility can use tents, buildings, hangers, or navy vessels. The exact structures used matter less than the
  ability to achieve and maintain security and separation. A planning facility should only have one
  controlled entrance, and the unit must maintain an access roster.
  4-9. An ideal planning facility has separate sleeping quarters, showers, electricity, heat or
  air-conditioning, and a latrine for each team. If possible, the planning facility should be structured to
  make the teams' accommodations comfortable.
