In OPORD structure, which paragraph contains Command and Control information?

• A. Situation
• B. Mission
• C. Execution
• D. Command and Control

Answer: (D)

In an OPORD, the Command and Control information is contained in its own paragraph dedicated to that topic. This section standardizes who has authority, the command relationships, where command posts are located, succession of command, and the communications plan (call signs, frequencies, liaison procedures, reporting formats). Having it in a separate paragraph keeps the crucial guidance on how decisions are made and how information is exchanged clearly visible for leaders and staff. The other sections describe the situation, the mission, and how the plan will be executed and sustained, but the formal command, control, and communications framework lives in the Command and Control paragraph.
