  ORDERS PRODUCTION, DISSEMINATION, AND TRANSITION (STEP 7)
  B-33. The final step of the military decision-making process is orders production, dissemination, and
  transition. The staff prepares the operation order by turning the selected course of action into a clear, concise
  concept of operations with supporting information, as required. The signal staff finalizes all planning
  products, including the signal running estimate and annex H of the operation order (with appendixes). If time
  allows, the staff can conduct a more thorough war game of the approved course of action. The staff internally
  reconciles planning outputs for approval by the commander.
