ENGINEER UNIT ORDERS
Orders and Annexes
G-4. The engineer commander uses a unit order to exercise control over subordinate engineer units. At
the outset of an operation, the commander uses the order to—
� Affect the necessary task organization of engineers into the gaining or supported unit.
� Assign initial missions.
� Establish integration with the gaining unit sustainment structure.
G-5. Once task organization is effective (during operations), the engineer commander directs subsequent
orders only to those engineer units under his command. Orders, missions, and instructions to engineer units
in a command relationship to maneuver units are included in gaining unit orders.
WARNING ORDER
G-6. A WARNORD helps subordinate commanders and staffs initiate planning and prepare for an
upcoming operation. The engineer commander issues WARNORDs to all supporting engineer units to
facilitate parallel planning. WARNORDs do not authorize execution unless specifically stated. There are
three prescribed WARNORDs produced during the MDMP, but only one when using TLP (see FM 5-0,
chapter 4, for information on TLP). The number of WARNORDs is not fixed. As more information
becomes available, leaders can and should issue additional WARNORDs. (The WARNORD format is
shown in FM 5-0, appendix G.) (See FM 5-0, chapter 4, for the recommended information provided in an
initial WARNORD issued below battalion level.) The minimum amount of information for each
WARNORD is described below:
� WARNORD 1. WARNORD 1 is issued during Step 1 of the MDMP or Step 2 of TLP.
WARNORD 1 includes—
� Type of operation and general location.
� Initial operational timeline.
� Movements to initiate, especially for engineer heavy equipment or assets (bridging assets or
construction materials) that travel slowly or must be moved long distances.
� Collaborative planning sessions directed by the commander, which could entail planning
with another engineer headquarters supporting an adjacent unit or operating at a higher
echelon.
� Initial IR or CCIR.
� ISR tasks that could involve engineer reconnaissance.
� WARNORD 2. WARNORD 2 is issued at the conclusion of Step 2 of the MDMP. WARNORD
2 includes—
� Approved unit mission statement.
� Commander’s intent.
� Task organization changes, attachments, and detachments.
� AO description (sketch, overlay).
� CCIR and essential elements of friendly information (EEFI).
� Risk guidance.
� Surveillance and reconnaissance instructions.
� Initial movement instructions.
� Security measures.
� Military deception guidance.
� Mobility and countermobility guidance.
� Specific priorities.
� Updated operational timeline.
� Guidance on collaborative events and rehearsals.
