SALUTE report
A SALUTE report is a short contact report built on six headings: Size, Activity, Location, Unit, Time and Equipment.
Context
It gives higher headquarters the essentials of what a patrol has observed, in an order everyone expects. Its brevity is the point, and it is also why a wrong location or time does damage.
How Gridnorth handles it
Gridnorth fills the six fields from a spoken or typed account and flags any it could not fill with confidence. See contact reports.
