Plan/Order reconciliation involves which of the following?

• A. Subordinates briefing back their understanding of the OPORD
• B. A comparison of your plan with higher headquarters plan to ensure their intent is met
• C. An internal review to identify discrepancies and gaps
• D. A detailed plan walk-through to test the feasibility of subordinate tasks

Answer: (C)

Plan/Order reconciliation is the internal review that looks for and resolves mismatches between your plan and higher-level guidance. The main goal is to uncover discrepancies and gaps so you can adjust the plan to stay aligned with the commander’s intent and available resources before issuing orders. This step ensures that tasks, sequencing, and supporting actions fit together cohesively. Briefing subordinates on their understanding or walking through the plan are useful activities, but reconciliation specifically centers on identifying and addressing differences and missing elements that would prevent successful execution.
