Sample Movement/Planning Order Format

[Double Deuce]

Official Orders will need to follow a set structure. This will include the Hex the units are located in at the start of the Operational Turn, the Hex that the unit is moving/attacking into. Following that will be the actual units, to include the detailed OOB of the unit.

Example;

HEX HH16 --> Attacking into HEX HH15

TF 2-68AR

...2nd Bn/68th Arm Rgt/2nd Bde/8th Inf Div
......x2 M557A2 C2V
......x2 M1 Abrams (#20)
......x4 M106A1
......x1 M151 Jeep 4x4
......x1 Stinger Team

Orders: During the advance into Hex HH15, the tanks will be deployed 500 meters in front of the main body to act as a screen. The M106a1's will follow the main body by 250 meters over-watch positions to support the attack when contact is made.

Is this for BDE to TFs or is this generic for everyone?

[Pepper]

Could someone please clarify - should I be doing anything at this point? :confused:

Thanks. ;)

[Double Deuce]

Is this for BDE to TFs or is this generic for everyone?Generic for everyone. All units will be given movement orders using this format.

[Walther]

Generic for everyone. All units will be given movement orders using this format.

I guess I may be getting carried away with the orders process...Does Brigade have to issue similar orders to TFs, or do I publish one OPORD and the TFs will issue the generic format for their respective units?

A curious question considering that the Division order has'nt been published. Almost done. Not sure how far we go with the orders but there has to be a plan. I have one, I just need to articulate it.

Almost done. Not sure how far we go with the orders but there has to be a plan. I have one, I just need to articulate it.If you want to use the COCAT file and send it to me I can post the movements, then you can QA them before they are finalized.

Orders don't need to be too detailed. Just a brief explanation of how they move into the hex and any order of march, etc.
