"I saw someone running over there." "Who? Where?" "They're gone now. Nevermind." "WHO and WHERE?!"
"Contact *bearing* *distance*, running/moving *from* *to*. I've lost visiual." E.g. "Contact bearing 1-2-0, 150 meters, running behind the bushes." or "Contact bearing south-west down the road, 300 meter, 2 man patrol moving from left to right."

Btw: members should have a look at our Communication SOPs, although work is still in progress. And also at the Scheme for Briefings, also wip (yea, kinda off-topic here). "Teamwork is essential, it gives them someone else to shoot at." Murphy's Laws of Combat #9
Somehow this thread is fallen asleep, let's change that.
Fire team: #1 Leader, #2 AR, #3 AAR, #4 Medic Situation: - the team receives fire and is spread - #2 is in a good covered position and returns steady suppressive fire - #3 is dead, but no one has visual on his body - #4 is pinned down and took a hit in the arm but is still conscious
How should a request from #1 for a status report from all team members look like? How should the replies look like? "Teamwork is essential, it gives them someone else to shoot at." Murphy's Laws of Combat #9
