The fragmentary order (FRAGO) provides timely changes of existing orders to subordinate and supporting commanders while
providing notification to higher and adjacent commands. Commanders may authorize members of their staff to change existing
orders by issuing FRAGOs in their name. A FRAGO is either oral or written and addresses only those parts of the original OPORD
that have changed. The sequence of the OPORD is used and all five-paragraph headings must be used. After each heading,
state either “No Change” or the new information. This ensures that recipients know they have received the entire FRAGO
(especially if the FRAGO is sent over the radio). The FRAGO differs from an OPORD only in the degree of detail provided. It refers
to previous orders and provides brief and specific instructions. The higher headquarters issues a new OPORD when there is a
complete change of the tactical situation or when many changes make the current order ineffective.
