Use this template to develop an Annex F to provide additional details and guidance for an operation plan.
Attention!
Check with your unit to ensure there are no local templates that should be used instead.
Joint Publication 3-61 Public Affairs provides guidance for developing an Annex F of an operations plan. The execution section assigns responsibilities and provides guidance for the conduct of public affairs activities. PA planners apply PA planning considerations to refine requirements and develop Annex F (Public Affairs) of the operation plan and the proposed public affairs guidance and support the development of other annexes and operational documents, as appropriate. These include task order, prepare to deploy order, execute order or aircrew special instructions. The inclusion of PA language in these documents enables PA integration throughout all phases of an exercise or operation.
PA should consider the full environment (all domains related to the OPLAN) when developing an Annex F. Annex F of an OPLAN should address all PA-related transportation, communications, billeting, equipment and personnel resources required to support the plan. However, the details of those PA requirements needed to support an operation should be coordinated and included in other appropriate annexes (logistics, personnel and communications) to obtain these resources and conduct PA as outlined in Annex F.
The PA annex to the plan or order complements and supports – but does not replace – the PPAG forwarded to the Office of the Secretary of Defense.
You may include information beyond JP 3-61's guidance and should consider all elements of the information environment. Use this template to draft an Annex F that covers:
- Situation
- Mission
- Execution (including PA postures)
- Administration and logistics
- Command and control
