INTRODUCTION
The signal annex is the primary planning document which the signal officer uses to plan and coordinate
signal support requirements for the unit. Annexes are an integral part of a unit's operations plan
(OPLAN) or operations order (OPORD) and deal with specific areas in support of the unit's mission.
The annex keeps the basic text of an OPLAN or OPORD short. It can include written text, overlays,
diagrams, charts, overprinted maps, and tables (anything to help clarify and illustrate how the signal
element will support the unit in successfully accomplishing its mission).
