  Input to Operation Plans and Orders
  APPENDIX 14 (MILITARY DECEPTION) TO ANNEX C
  (OPERATIONS) DIRECTIONS
  B-1. Appendixes are information management tools. They simplify orders by providing a structure for
  organizing information. FM 6-0 discusses the organizational structure for appendixes to Army to OPLANs
  and OPORDs. Staffs list appendixes under an appropriate heading at the end of the document they expand.
  For example, Appendix 14 (Military Deception) is to Annex C (Operations). This appendix describes how
  deception supports operations described in the base plan or order. Some additional considerations for writing
  the Appendix 14 include the following:
  * Access to Appendix 14 is typically on a need to know basis, which means limiting access to those
  individuals who are involved in planning, approving, or executing deceptions and must have
  knowledge of the military deception to perform their duties.
  * The deception appendix will normally be developed, published, distributed, and maintained
  separately.
  * Staffs do not use normal administrative procedures to distribute or staff the deception appendix.
  Only positive control means, such as hand-to-hand delivery, will be used to distribute deception
  related material.

  B-2. Commanders and staffs use Appendix 14 (Military Deception) to Annex C (Operations) to OPLANs
  and OPORDs to describe how deception will support operations described in the base plan or order. See
  figure B-1 for a sample format instructions. The italicized font in figure B-1 explains the information that
  commanders and staffs complete.
