FM/BG-830 - What is a casualty report?
A casualty report (CASREP) is a concise, focused communication detailing the status of casualties within an element. This enables leaders and medical units to quickly assess the severity of the situation and allocate resources accordingly.
CASREPs are used in the following scenarios:
- When a leader needs to know casualty status.
- To convey the specific extent and severity of wounded personnel.
- For medical units (ambulances, medevac teams) to understand casualty situations.
