It's a "fragmentation order" .... usually used to make changes to an operations order without having to re-write the entire thing.

It is a FRAG O or "Frag Order". It is used to modify an operations order without re issuing the entire order.
The only thing is has to do with "fragmentation" is that some bad guys might be on the receiving end of some fragmetary ordnance.

The correct term is "frag", short for fragmentation. It applies to killing someone and also to a change in a previously given order.
I enlisted, got out, did ROTC and went back in as an officer. So I too, know what I am talking about.

The metal insignias worn by military commanders are made of brass. An insignia is an emblem worn on a uniform to denote rank or some sort of position/title. In this context I'm referring to rank. The term Army brass is used to collectively describe those in the Army who have considerable authority. Usually only military officers have their rank insignia made with brass whereas lower enlisted members have their ranks sewn on. When you hear someone say top brass. They mean top ranking individuals. The term top brass does not have to refer to the military however, it can be used to describe for example, a CEO, or a powerful political figure.

Fragging was a slang term meaning killing a superior officer; it referred to using a fragmentation device, like a hand grenade, but came to mean just the killing. Came into use during the Vietnam War.

Later in the war some Divisions and Battalions were reduced to Cadre strength, this was when most of the fighting strength of the unit was drafted to other units and a small Cadre (number) of troops remained to reform the unit with new soldiers. This allowed new troops to receive training from veteran troops prior to reaching the front. The Cadre would normally be brought back to Great Britain to be either absorbed or reformed.

Never heard of Frago, but Frag or fragging was the desire to drop a grenade on an officer that was an ******.
