FRAGORD modifies what?

• A. WARNORD
• B. OPORD
• C. FRAGORD
• D. ISR

Answer: (B)

FRAGORD is a fragmentary order used to update a plan that has already been issued in an OPORD. It lets commanders implement changes quickly by altering execution details—such as tasks, timing, or the allocation of forces—while leaving the rest of the operation plan intact. This keeps the current intent and framework of the OPORD, but reflects new information or constraints on the ground. A WARNORD is an initial notice of an upcoming OPORD, so it isn’t the document FRAGORD modifies. While a FRAGORD can alter elements called for in the OPORD (including ISR tasks), the thing it modifies is the OPORD itself.
