STANDING OPERATING PROCEDURES
Standing operating procedures (SOP) detail how forces will execute unit-specific techniques and procedures
that commanders standardize to enhance effectiveness and flexibility. Commanders use SOP to
standardize routine or recurring actions not needing their personal involvement. They develop SOP from
doctrinal sources, applicable portions of the higher headquarters' published procedures, the commander's
guidance, and techniques and procedures developed through experience. The SOP must be as complete as
possible so that new arrivals or newly attached units can quickly become familiar with the unit's normal routine.
In general, SOP apply until commanders change them to meet altered conditions or practices. The benefits of
SOP include—
• Simplified, brief combat orders.
• Enhanced understanding and teamwork among commanders, staffs, and troops.
• Established synchronized staff drills.
• Established abbreviated or accelerated decision making techniques.
The operations officer is responsible for preparing, coordinating, authenticating, publishing, and distributing
the command's tactical and administrative SOP, with input from other staff sections.
