Estimates, Plans, Orders and Annexes to Plans and Orders 1 March 2016 ATP 3-09.42 B-11 SECTION V – FIELD ARTILLERY BATTALION OPERATIONS ORDER B-30. As an organic unit of the BCT, the cannon field artillery battalion normally prepares an OPLAN or OPORD rather than a field artillery support plan to support the BCT commander’s mission. The cannon field artillery battalion OPORD should contain the information found in the field artillery support plan. The cannon field artillery battalion OPORD is based on the field artillery sub-subparagraphs of the BCT OPORD and its fires annex. See FM 6-0 and ATP 3-09.23 for the OPLAN or OPORD format.
