2. MISSION
3. EXECUTION
a.
Scheme of Engineer Operations (SOEO)—same SOEO used in the supported unit's basic
OPORD.
• Provide narrative of mobility and survivability tasks that support the maneuver plan regardless of what
unit performs the task. For example, artillery-delivered FASCAM would be addressed in this paragraph.
• Explain what the essential mobility and survivability tasks are and how they support the scheme of
maneuver.
• Ensure the SOEO corresponds to the maneuver unit's concept of operations. The concept provides
the foundation and structure from which engineer operations are modeled. If the operations are phased, the
SOEO is also phased, using the same phases. If the supported unit does not use phases, the SOEO uses
the same format the supported unit used for its concept of operations.
• Address four areas under each phase in the SOEO—general comments, countermobility, survivability,
and mobility. Address each in the order of priority for that particular phase. If there is no support provided in
a specific area during a phase, do not mention that area. The support addressed under each phase applies
to the mobility and survivability effort that supports a maneuver unit during that phase, no matter when the ef-
fort was completed. Address each area as follows:
— General comments: a brief, one-sentence comment about mobility and survivability support for the
phase.
— Countermobility: each obstacle belt, in order of its priority, its intent, and which maneuver unit it
supports. Provide execution criteria for reserve targets and situational obstacles.
— Survivability: each survivability task and relative location, for example, battle position (BP) or vicin-
ity of an EA, and which maneuver unit is supported.
Figure H-16. Annex F (Engineer) instructions and format (continued)
H-46
FM 101-5
— Mobility: each mobility task (breaching, marking lanes, providing guides, and maintaining a route),
relative location (route or objective), priority of reduction asset used (use plows first, then mine clearing line
charge), and which maneuver unit is supported.
b. Tasks to subordinate units. List engineer tasks to be accomplished by engineers supporting ma-
neuver elements (only as necessary to ensure unity of effort). Ensure that the unit level tasks assigned to the
engineer organization are included. This paragraph is used to inform subordinate unit commanders of tasks
under unit control being done by unit-level forces.
C. Coordinating instructions.
• Include times or events in which obstacle control measures become effective if they differ from
the effective time of the order.
• List supported unit PIR that must be considered by subordinate engineer staff officers or that the
supported unit requires. List mission reports that the supported unit requires if not covered in the signal para-
graph or unit SOP.
• Include explanation of countermobility and survivability time lines, if used.
