Where can potential constraints be found during mission analysis?

During mission analysis, potential constraints can primarily be found in the Operational Order (OPORD) and its annexes. An OPORD contains detailed information about the mission, including the commander's intent, tasks, and limitations that directly impact how a unit can operate. It outlines the framework within which decisions are made and actions are executed, highlighting potential restrictions on resources, time, or the environment.

Annexes provide additional detailed information related to specific aspects of the operation and can include logistics, personnel, and any specific operational constraints that must be considered. These documents are critical for understanding the bounds of what is feasible in the planning and execution of a mission.

While constraints could also be referenced in other documents like the commander's intent, intelligence summaries, or standard operating procedures (SOPs), the most comprehensive source detailing constraints that will directly influence mission execution is found within the OPORD and its annexes.
