An Operation Order, often abbreviated to OPORD, is a plan format meant to assist subordinate units with the conduct of military operations. An OPORD describes the situation the unit faces, the mission of the unit, and what supporting activities the unit will conduct in order to achieve their commander's desired end state.
The TLP consists of eight steps, which are designed to be flexible and adaptable to different situations. These steps are as follows: Receive the Mission: Subordinate leaders receive the mission order, which can be in the form of a warning order, operations order (OPORD), or fragmentary order (FRAGO).
This example and others are completely described in "Effects-Based Operations: Change in the Nature of Warfare." [3] Another example is when the US dropped CBU-94B anti-electrical cluster bombs filled with 147 reels of fine conductive fiber. These were employed on high-voltage electrical transmission lines leading to Serbia to short them and ...
Anticipation is the ability to foresee operational requirements and initiate actions that satisfy a response without waiting for an operations order or fragmentary order. Sustainment commanders and staffs visualize future operations, identify required support and start the process of acquiring the sustainment that best supports the operation.

I am a little confused as to how awaited orders, which one assumes have not arrived, can be cancelled. Basically the way it generally works in most armed forces is you get a warning order with anticipated tasks, then an operations order with the detailed tasks, and they then issue fragmentary orders to amend the operations order as required.
An air tasking order (ATO) is a means by which the Joint Forces Air Component Commander (JFACC) controls air forces within a joint operations environment. The ATO is a large document written in United States Message Text Format (USMTF) that lists air sorties for a fixed 24-hour period, with individual call signs, aircraft types, and mission types (e.g. close air support or air refueling).
A FRAGPLAN (Fragmentary Plan) or a planning fragment is a document that contains a plan for an activity or series of activities. The difference between a FRAGPLAN and a standard planning document is that rather than being a complete, holistic, end-to-end plan it is instead a pluggable, planning component which may then be assembled with other fragments to rapidly construct a complete plan.
