WITH ANSWERS.
POSITION REPORT - correct answer -The position report
(POSREP) is a brief transmission that reports your current
location. The regularity of position reports will be determined by
the operation order (OPORDER).
It is vitally important that the command knows where you are at all
times to deconflict incoming request from higher and adjacent
friendly units. Every element in combat must be accounted for to
maintain positive command and control and avoid blue on blue
incidents. Position reports are understood to be the location of the
unit's lead element.
Unless otherwise specified in the OPORDER, grid coordinates for
your current location are given in 8-digit format. If the order has
established check points, grid coordinates are not necessary as
locations will be given in reference to the nearest checkpoint.
Example: "From CP Fox. Break. 1200 West. 500 North. Over."
If you are on the move, primary cardinal directions such as north,
south, east, or west are used. Example: "Sierra Two Foxtrot.
From CP Fox. 1200 West. Moving East along route Michigan."
