*To maximize your MILSIM experience, have a Battle CPT at a notional TOC (Tactical Operation Center) to receive reports, send supplies and track the battlefield*

For MILSIM, these standardized reports are not only useful but also increase the realism factor

As a game editor, you can plan mission/scenarios that could use a report transmission

Some report examples are obvious (such as a BLUE 1 and BLUE 2)

A few of the obvious examples include:

• GREEN 4 - Patrol Report - for follow-on missions based on intelligence generated

• YELLOW 1A - Battle Loss Spot Report - needed for equipment respawn

• YELLOW 2/2A - Ammunition Status/Request Report - to resupply needed ammunition

• YELLOW 3/3A - POL Status/Request Report - to resupply needed fuel

• YELLOW 5 - Recovery Request - to exfiltrate an unserviceable vehicle

• RED 2 - Casualty Report - needed for personnel respawn

Conclusion

Standardizes reports for the U.S. Army are as follows:

• Operations - BLUE

• Intelligence - GREEN

• Logistics - YELLOW

• Personnel - RED

• NBC - N/A

Each report is standardized for ease of use

These reports increase MILSIM realism for an improved in-game experience
