Which component is not included in the Five Paragraphs of the OPORD?

The correct answer focuses on the structure of an Operations Order (OPORD), which typically comprises five main paragraphs: Situation, Mission, Execution, Sustainment, and Command/Signal.

In this context, reconnaissance is not explicitly detailed as one of the five essential components of the OPORD structure. While reconnaissance plays a critical role in the planning and execution of military operations and may be addressed within the execution section, it is not a standalone paragraph in the OPORD framework. Each of the other paragraphs encompasses broader themes or components that are vital to the operation, including how to support and sustain forces and the specific mission to be accomplished. Thus, understanding that reconnaissance, while important, does not represent a separate component in the OPORD is key to recognizing why it is the answer to this question.
