Quick reference guide? So EBP and EBT are infact Aide Memoir Formats in the same way as the Five Paragraph orders format is.

Situation, Mission, Execution, Command/Control and Administration. ( SMECA )

IMO, Five Paragraph orders format is good for almost anything, and where even the OODA loop has its home.
