This is the same as the OPORD entry. Hal06 23:37, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Variants

I'd like to point out that the 'Variant' section is massivly incorrect, it's not a military briefing system and it's certainly not just the British Army that uses it, I propose creating a new page for the SMEAC briefing system, and it's variants. LookingYourBest 14:44, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] US didn;t developp this format??

I find it ironinc that the first kine of the article reads"The five paragraph order is an element of United States Marine Corps and United States Army small unit.." As far as I know until at least teh 80s, US forces used a 7 part "op ord".

This format however has been used by the Brit/commonwealth forces for since at least the Vietnamt era - I have old Austrlaian pams (field manuals) that illustrate this form the 60s.

Next the yanks will be claiming DROSCS harbour drill... :-) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 219.90.176.8 (talk) 10:13, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
