Classify the effect of the used munitions on the target as one of the following categories:

Effect                                         Meaning
Destroyed

When a whole infantry unit is killed or a vehicle explodes into wreckage, it is destroyed. No reforming or repair is possible.

For infantry, this is (optionally) transmitted in number of casualties. An estimate is okay.

Neutralised

When a large portion of infantry is killed and the remainder is unable to continue effective combat, the unit is neutralised.

When a vehicle is disabled, e.g. it has lost its gun or mobility, it is also neutralised. For vehicles, this can be considered a temporary state depending on repairs & logistics.

Suppressed

When the target is hindered in its effectiveness against friendly manoeuvres and positions, it is suppressed. 

HE can be used to scramble enemy positions and manoeuvres, as they run for cover. Smoke can be used to obscure lines of sight and thereby also achieves suppression.

Suppression usually only lasts as long as the munitions are being applied, so it is a temporary state.

InsufficientWhen the surveyed effect does not meet your or the leader's criteria, it is insufficient.
