  adjustments in FM operations. FM personnel should refer to ADP 5-0 for specific instruction on the
  assessment process and development of an assessment plan.
  SECTION V– OPERATION PLAN AND ORDER DEVELOPMENT
  6-44. This is an administrative guide, instructions, and format for developing the FM Appendix to the
  Service Support Annex of an operation plan (OPLAN) or operations orders (OPORD). Refer to ADP 5-0
  for further guidance in the preparation of plans and orders.
  6-45. The FM Appendix to the Service Support Annex of the OPLAN or OPORD, table 6-1, is developed
  in conjunction with—and in support of—the FM running estimate and operational planning process. The
  FM Appendix identifies and resolves FM support problems and funding responsibilities in advance of plan
  implementation. Command responsibilities and functional alignments for providing FM support should be
  described and defined in the Appendix and in sufficient detail to ensure that provisions are made to support
  all mission essential tasks. Furthermore, the Appendix should outline special program funding and
  procedures unique to the operations (e.g., CERP, DOD Small Rewards Program, Train and Equip
  programs). Requirements validation and funding procedures are essential elements of an FM Appendix. FM
  planners should specify all spending thresholds that require approval by commanders and/or acquisition
  review boards (Joint Acquisition Review Board, Combined Acquisition Review Board). Finally, any
  reporting requirements and formats should be identified and explained in the FM Appendix.
  Note: Providing entitlement information to financial managers and DFAS is critical to ensuring
  accurate payment of personnel deploying to support joint force operations; hence, the
  information should be communicated as soon as possible.
