Any1 have a nicely written 5 paragraph order? Im looking for a blank one to make copies to pass out to the new Marines so they can get this down. Basically a readable template. Thanks Semper

Don't over think, over analyze, or complicate what a 5 paragraph order needs to be. Especially as a training aid to your Marines. My old Plt. Cmdr. used to have us(my plt) write his for him for his briefs for our missions. One thing we all concluded was that the more direct they are the more interest the Marines will have in it. The more fluff and BS you have it the more they are bored and won't care.

I know and you know we have these acronyms(SMEAC, BAMCIS, SALUTE, etc.) for learning purposes but once you use one of these in a real scenario(not sure if you have or not) you realize that they are not near as complicated as you thought when you first learned it. Same goes with other things like learning a NATO 9-Line and calling in UXO(IED's)....don't over complicate it. The simpler they learn it the better and more likely they are not to mess it up when put to real use.
