Interpreting ORBAT Construction Standards
The purpose of this content is to provide policy guidance on the construction of ORBAT and the rules by which ORBATs are approved. It's important to note that these policies may be an extension of other policies, or impacted by them.
These policies are designed to cover the majority of encountered questions in ORBAT construction, although for flexibility we acknowledge that not all circumstances will be covered. In this instance, as with other policies Doctrine Authority FM/BP-859 applies and Operations Command (OC) FM/BG-614 is the relevant Command Unit Authority.
See The UNITAF Way FM/C149 for more information on doctrine and what happens if a specific instance is not covered by this section.
