Which order type is issued once MDMP is complete?

The correct answer is OPORD, which stands for Operations Order. Once the Military Decision-Making Process (MDMP) is completed, an OPORD is issued to convey the details of an operation to all relevant units. This order provides comprehensive instructions on how to execute the mission, outlining the commander's intent, the tasks to be accomplished, the coordinating instructions, and logistics involved.

The issuance of an OPORD marks the transition from planning to execution, ensuring that all participating units clearly understand their roles and responsibilities in the mission. This order is critical for effective military operations and communication among forces.

In contrast, a WARNO (Warning Order) is typically issued to alert units of an impending operation but does not provide the full details required for execution. A FRAGO (Fragmentary Order) serves as an update or modification to an existing order; it is used during an ongoing operation to adjust the plans based on the changing situation but is not the final comprehensive directive. COA (Courses of Action) refers to the different approaches considered during the planning phase, which could lead to the OPORD but is not an order in itself. Thus, the completion of MDMP culminates in the issuance of an OPORD.
