Annex E
Protection Annex Format and Instructions
This annex provides fundamental considerations, formats, and instructions for
developing Annex E (Protection) to the base plan or order.
HOW TO DEVELOP ANNEX E (PROTECTION)
E-1. Commanders and staff use Annex E (Protection) to describe how protection supports the concept of
operations described in the base plan or order. This annex describes how the commander intends to
preserve the force through the protection tasks (listed in this annex’s appendixes). The chief of protection
or a designated staff officer (engineer, chemical, air and missile defense officer or provost marshal)
develops Annex E (Protection).
E-2. This annex describes the protection concept of support objectives. A complex protection concept of
support may require a schematic to show the protection objectives and task relationships. This annex
includes a discussion of the overall protection concept of support, with the specific details in element
subparagraphs and attachments. It refers to the execution matrix to clarify timing relationships among
various protection tasks. This annex also contains information needed to synchronize timing relationships
of each element related to protection. It includes protection-related constraints, if appropriate.
