1. ALERT: Begin with an alert pro-word.
- Use "Contact!" for entities in contact with the reporter
- Use "Sighting!" for entities sighted but not in contact.
2. ORIENT: Provide direction using one of the following:
- Relative direction (e.g. Front, Left, Right, Rear) if movement direction is established.
- General compass bearing (e.g. South, South-east, South-south east).
- Specific compass bearing in degrees for high precision (e.g., "BEARING 265").
- Clock bearing for vehicle crews (e.g. "1 O'Clock"), though relative bearings are preferred.
3. DESCRIBE: Clearly and succinctly describe what you see (e.g. Infantry, Enemy patrol, APC, MBT, Machinegun nest).
4. EXPOUND: Give additional details such as:
- Range (from general, e.g. "Close", to specific, e.g. "523 meters").
- If only a relative bearing was initially given, provide a specific degree bearing.
- Actions of the target (e.g. "They're flanking us").
- Specific target positioning (e.g. "two soldiers on the roof, one in the building").
Example Contact Report: "Contact front! Enemy infantry in the open, bearing 210, three hundred meters!"
