A Situation Report (SITREP) is a quick and standardised way for a unit to communicate its current status to a superior element. It gives leaders the information they need to make informed decisions and adjust plans if necessary.
A SITREP informs higher command of:
- Position – Where you are.
- Activity – What your unit is doing.
- Threat – What the enemy is doing (level of contact or significant observations).
- Status – Whether you need any assistance and your effectiveness
Maintaining brevity and clarity helps ensure situational awareness, better coordination, and prompt support if needed.
