THE FIELD ARTILLERY JOURNAL (k) Remember that "negative" reports are often of the very greatest importance. Negative reports show "where the enemy is not." They also show where the scout or patrol is, and let the commanding officer know that the patrol is still working or is not captured. (l) Always use compass bearings in reports, never "right" or "left," except with regard to the banks of a river. (m) Avoid indefinite expressions, such as "in front of," "behind," "on this side," "beyond," etc. (n) Roads are designated by connecting two or more names of places on the road with dashes, as: NATCHES GATE—CONCRETE FORD ROAD. (o) A message or report should always state what the scout or patrol is going to do next. (p ) Use common sense in reporting. Remember that useless reports hamper a commander and waste his time. (q ) In making a verbal report, think out beforehand what you are going to say; give your report coolly, and take care that you are not misunderstood. BATTALION MUSICIAN 1.
