reports to the OTC and warfare commander concerned informing other warfare commanders and others as
directed. Units will, in addition, make voice reports to the warfare commander concerned over the
appropriate tactical net. For detached units, the task element commander should submit consolidated
reports. The AREC will transmit Aircraft Mission Summaries (MISSUMs) or Rainform PURPLE
messages for CV-based aircraft. These reports will repromulgate mission results based upon mission
debriefing or post-flight analysis.

6326 WARFARE COMMANDER REPORTS
MTP 1(D), Vol. I
a. Warfare Commander SITREP. Warfare commanders will make voice SITREPs to the OTC
on the TF/TG Command net. Additionally, warfare commanders must keep units appraised of the tactical
situation over the respective coordination and reporting (C & R) nets. (The same SITREP may satisfy both
requirements, but if units are not guarding the TF/TG Command net, then the report should be made over
both nets). SITREPs will briefly describe the tactical situation and state the warfare commander’s
intentions. They will be transmitted whenever dictated by the tactical situation and will be particularly
critical during fast moving situations, in order to keep the OTC sufficiently informed.
b. Warfare Commander SITSUM. When directed, warfare commanders and coordinators will
submit message SITSUMs to the OTC. Reporting will be over the TF/TG Command (RATT) net in order
to keep the OTC, other warfare commanders, and the task force generally informed. SITSUMs will include
(as appropriate) warning and weapon status, equipment casualties, and other problems serious enough to
be brought to the attention of the OTC and other warfare commanders.
(1) The ASUWC will, in addition, report best current estimate of hostile ship positions and time of
last actual detection. Results of recent ASUW actions and surveillance flights, and status of on-going
actions and flights will also be reported. Friendly ship positions will be given on request.
(2) The ASWC will report best current locating information for hostile and friendly submarines
and towed array ships. Status of current prosecutions and ASW air picture and deck alert will also be
reported.
(3) The AAWC will summarize bogey and CAP status, including CAP station occupancy, air control
units, and ready alert posture. Missile inventory and status and the results of recent engagements
will also be reported.
(4) The EWC will report force EMCON condition and intra-task force variations or violations
thereof, current RACKET status, and status of EW aircraft.
(5) The AREC will report aircraft readiness and availability, flight deck status, and launch schedules.
Real-time information will be most critical in AAW.
