Five-Paragraph Mission-Type Order (MTO) Training Tool

Disclaimer:
The tool is designed to familiarize Airmen with the basic five-paragraph order used for
joint operations. This tool does not replace the use of the Joint Planning Process (JPP).
Rather, it assists Airmen in creating the final product (an order) at the end of applying
the JPP. The JPP is an orderly, analytical set of steps used to frame and understand a
problem, then develop, analyze, and compare alternate courses of action (COAs) or
solutions, select the best COA, and build a plan or order. Orders are produced by
commanders (at all levels) when it is determined that prudent planning is required to
address a possible contingency or developing crisis situation. The order format used in
this tool is IAW the format prescribed in AFDP-1, pg 12, the USAF Modified Five-
Paragraph Order Format. Further information regarding the JPP, orders and/or plans
can be found in JP 5-0, Joint Planning; and CJCSM 3130.03A, Planning and Execution
Planning Formats and Guidance.
