Operations Order (OPORD)

An Operations Order (OPORD) is a detailed plan used by military units to coordinate actions during an operation. It clearly outlines the mission's purpose, the specific tasks for each team member or unit, the available resources, and how they will work together to achieve a common goal. The OPORD ensures everyone understands their responsibilities, the timeline, and potential challenges, facilitating effective and synchronized execution of complex tasks. It serves as a roadmap, promoting clear communication, coordination, and adaptability during military operations.
