Example

ALPHA 9: ‘Alpha 1, Alpha 9, SITREP’

ALPHA 1: ‘Alpha 9, Alpha 1, wait one’

ALPHA 9: ‘…’

ALPHA 1: ‘Alpha 9, Alpha 1, SITREP as follows… Current position is 1234 tack 5678. We are moving to clear Compound GOLD from the north. Currently en route and will be in contact in the next 10 mikes. ACE report to follow, but should be GREEN with the exception of magazines which are likely bordering AMBER. We could do with supporting fire from 2 as we move across the open if possible. Recommend that we have MEDICAL on standby as we will likely take casualties clearing this compound'

ALPHA 9: ‘Roger all, will awaited updated ACE, out’
