  [issuing headquarters] [(classification of title)]
  (1) (U) Interagency, Intergovernmental, and Nongovernmental Organizations. Identify and
  describe other organizations in the area of operations that may impact the conduct of space operations or
  implementation of space-specific equipment, tactics, and capabilities. Consider all multinational, civil, and
  nongovernmental organizations such as civilian relief agencies and other customers and providers of space-
  based capabilities. Refer to Annex V–Interagency Coordination as required.
  (2) (U) Civil Considerations. Describe the aspects of the civil situation that impact space
  operations. Refer to Annex B–Intelligence and Annex K–Civil Affairs Operations as required.
  (3) (U) Attachments and Detachments. List units attached or detached only as necessary to clarify
  task organization. Refer to Annex A–Task Organization as required.
  d. (U) Assumptions. List space operations-specific assumptions that support the annex development.
  2. (U) Mission. State the mission of space operations in support of the base plan or order.
  3. (U) Execution.
  a. (U) Concept of Space Operations. Describe how space capabilities support the commander’s intent
  and concept of operations. Establish the priorities of space support to units for each phase of the operation.
  For example, electromagnetic interference resolution and defended asset list. Also address unique space
  reliances or vulnerabilities related to unit systems and capabilities. Refer to Annex C–Operations as
  required.
  (1) (U) Description. Describe how space capabilities and services support the operations.
  Emphasize the aspects of the Base plan that will require/affect space capabilities and services. Consider
  deployment timelines when on-orbit assets must be moved or deployed into the AOR.
  (2) (U) Employment. If operations are phased, discuss the employment of space assets during each
  phase. Include discussion of priorities of access, usage, and capabilities in each phase.
  b. (U) Tasks. Identify space tasks assigned to specific subordinate units, supporting command, or
  agency that provides support to the plan. Refer to any tasks in base order. Provide a concise statement of the
  task with sufficient detail to ensure that all elements essential to the operational concept are described
  properly. If the operation is phased, discuss the tasks of both supported and supporting commands/agencies
  during each phase. Identify space capabilities required to support the OPLAN, including the following specific
  areas as applicable:
  (1) (U) Space Situational Awareness. Address all capabilities and effects related to space situational
  awareness [understanding] requirements.
  (2) (U) Positioning, Navigation, and Timing. Provide navigational capabilities that would aid the
  transit of ships, aircraft, personnel, or ground vehicles and determine the course and distance traveled or
  position location. Provide Global Positioning System (GPS) accuracy to support GPS-aided munitions.
  (3) (U) Space Control. Provide information on space capabilities performed by space forces, air
  assets, or surface assets that ensure friendly forces and deny enemy forces the unrestricted use of space and
  space capabilities. Identify targetable enemy assets and limitations of targeting. Address all capabilities,
  effects, and limitations, related to offensive or defensive space control and navigation warfare requirements.
  Coordinate all plans and activities with cyberspace and electronic warfare to ensure complimentary, not
  redundant operations, including:
  (a) (U) Defensive Space Control. Capabilities and effects related to defensive space control.
