  ANNEXES
  4-57. FM 6-0 describes how staffs support the commander in understanding, visualizing, and describing the
  OE; making and articulating decisions; and directing, leading, and assessing military operations. Staffs make
  recommendations and prepare plans and orders for the commander. Staffs use annexes as attachments to
  plans and orders to provide more detail and organize information. The CAO staff supports the commander
  in communicating the commander’s decisions and intent through these products. Key information recorded
  in the running estimate informs the orders process—particularly in the functional annexes.
  4-58. The CAO staff (G-9 or S-9) refines the CAO aspects of the plan and order by publishing Annex K,
  further amplifying the commander’s intent in terms of CAO. In addition to Annex K, the CAO staff is
  involved in the development of Annex V (Interagency Coordination), in conjunction with the G-3 or the S-3
  and operations staff. In addition, the CAO staff must take great interest in Annex P (Host-Nation Support).
  ANNEX K, CIVIL AFFAIRS OPERATIONS, PUBLISHED BY G-9 OR S-9
  4-59. Commanders and staffs use Annex K to describe how CAO—integrated with other military and civil
  organizations—support the CONOPS described in the base plan or order. This annex follows the five-
  paragraph attachment format. Annex K can have an unspecified number of Appendixes, but it typically has
  at least the following three:
  * Appendix 1–Execution Matrix.
  * Appendix 2–Populace and Resources Control Plan.
  * Appendix 3–Civil Information Collection Plan.
  Note: The base format for Annex K is found in FM 6-0.
  ANNEX P, HOST-NATION SUPPORT, PUBLISHED BY G-4 OR S-4
  4-60. Annex P uses the five-paragraph attachment format. Commanders and staffs use Annex P to describe
  how sustainment operations support the CONOPS described in the base plan or order.
  4-61. The G-4 or S-4 is the staff officer responsible for Annex P. Host-nation support is the civil and
  military assistance provided by the HN to the forces located in or transiting through that HN’s territory.
  Efficient use of available host-nation support greatly aids forces and augments the deployed sustainment
  structure. Much of any host-nation support will be derived through a bilateral, multilateral, or other
  international agreement. International agreements are with the entirety of the host-nation population and
  thus have an impact on the IPI. These international agreements will often call for additional acquisition
  and cross support agreements. U.S. forces obtain local resources to support operations from these
  agreements. The CMOC is usually in the best position to engage with the civil component on behalf of the
  G-4 or S-4 for utilization of local resources. Such resources may include water, energy, food, ports, roads,
  and other resources to sustain the force.
  Note: FM 6-0 provides an example of the format for Annex P.
  ANNEX V, INTERAGENCY COORDINATION, PUBLISHED BY G-3 OR S-3 AND G-9 OR S-9
  4-62. Annex V follows the five-paragraph attachment format; however, some subparagraphs are modified to
  accommodate communication with the interagency. This annex is important to CA forces because it identifies
  the interagency organization, military forces, and other entities within the AO and it designates the CA
  capability that is assigned to integrate CMO through the execution of CMI. This annex clarifies roles,
  responsibilities and actions that all involved must take to effect critical CMI in the AO and promote unity of
  effort.
  4-63. The G-3 or S-3, in conjunction with the G-9 or S-9, develops Annex V. Annex V provides military and
  interagency personnel with detailed information (such as mission, scheme, and tasks) to direct the necessary
  coordination and interaction between Army forces and interagency organizations. It describes how the
  commander intends to cooperate, provide support, and receive support from interagency partners throughout
