  AIR DEFENSE APPENDIX
  B-8. An appendix is an integral part of an order which deals with one aspect of an operation. Its purpose is
  to keep the basic text of an order short. Appendices allow the distribution of certain information to key players
  in the supported force. The air defense appendix is a sub-element of the Fires annex to an OPORD.
  B-9. Many times the senior SHORAD officer supporting a specific force will be required to draft the air
  defense appendix to the supported force's OPORD. Appendices may be issued simultaneously with the order
  or distributed separately. Unless there is a reason to the contrary, each copy of an order is issued complete
  with all annexes. Figure B-3 on page B-6, presents a sample air defense appendix.
