I came across this and thought this gentleman does a great job of breaking down the Five Paragraph Operations Order. I’ll be covering this at the Fieldcraft Class once the students learn the basics of shooting, moving, and communicating.

SMEAC was the acronym Dad taught me when I was about eight. He was a Captain in the Army, late 60’s-early 70’s, Vietnam of course.
He used that as a standard for doing his professional work for over three decades thereafter and told me that it was about as tight a concept for universal problem resolution as he’d ever seen.
Somewhat related, this explanation of the US Army Troop Leading Procedures is pretty handy.
The other videos on that YouTube channel are quite a valuable resource as well.

Paragraph 3 can be, and normally is, a lot more than a BRIEF “statement of tentative concept of operations.” Often, this is the crux of an opord.
You are correct sir, in the video they explain it a lot better than a lot of the printed lists I’ve seen.
