text: Appendix A
  Annex C, Appendix 18 Template
  The space operations officer is responsible to prepare Annex C, Appendix 18–Space
  Operations to of the base order. This appendix provides a format for Appendix 18 in
  Army plans and orders. The format for the annex can be modified to meet the
  requirements of the base order and operations. This chapter also includes an example
  information collection plan.
  A-1. Appendix 18–Space Operations provides fundamental considerations, detailed information, and
  instructions on space forces and capabilities to Annex C of the base OPLAN or order the supported
  commander can use throughout the operation. Appendix 18 is used to coordinate early with the staff, to
  include the G-2, G-6, air defense artillery officer, and the special technical operations cell to synchronize
  efforts and avoid duplication of information.
  A-2. Appendix 18 is the primary location for space operations, but space operations information may be
  found in other annexes and appendices. Complete Appendix 18 as required for amplifying details. For
  example, SATCOM requirements would normally be covered in Annex K by the J6 and Intelligence,
  Surveillance, and Reconnaissance requirements would normally be covered in Annex B by the J2. While the
  G-2 is responsible for producing a space threat portion in the intelligence estimate to Annex B, the SSE may
  contribute to this product such as providing impacts of space weather on operations. The SSE is responsible
  for preparing Appendix 18 to the OPLAN or OPORD. Commanders and staffs use Appendix 18 to describe
  how space operations support the concept of operations described in the base plan or order.
  A-3. Appendix 18 uses the standard five-paragraph OPORD format and contains the information indicated
  in figure A-1 on pages A-2 thru A-5. All references in the content, such as Appendix 2–Operation Overlay
  to Annex C–Operations refer to the base plan or order. Italicized text is recommendations or amplifying
  information.

  over this template if any discrepancies exist. Refer to source for additional guidance.
