Casualty Reports

Definition

A casualty is defined as an equipment malfunction or deficiency which cannot be

corrected within 48 hours and which:

– Reduces the unit’s ability to perform a primary mission.– Reduces the units ability to perform a secondary

mission.– Reduces a training command’s ability to perform its

mission, or a significant segment of its mission, and cannot be corrected or adequately accommodated locally by rescheduling or double-shifting lessons or classes.

Initial CASREP• Status of the casualty• Parts and/or assistance requirements• Scheduling information shall be reported for a 30 day period• Estimate a realistic repair date

Update CASREP

• Unreported casualty information

• Information which has changed (or was reported in error)

• Revise previously submitted information

• The casualty situation changes (e.g. repair date, parts status)

• Additional malfunctions are discovered in the same item or equipment

• Receipt of any significant part or equipment.

• Every 30 days if not updated otherwise

Correct CASREP (CASCOR)

• The delay expressed in hours, in correcting the casualty due to parts unavailability

• A final parts status, including a list of all parts requests and dates received

• The number of man-hours expended in correcting the casualty

• The number of equipment operating hours since last failure

• Characterize equipment use as continuous, intermittent, or impulse

Cancel CASREP (CASCAN)

• Reason for cancellation, e.g., the scheduled availability (location and date) during which a casualty is expected to be repaired.

Casualty Categories

• All ships, shore activities and overseas bases use three casualty categories:– CAT 2, 3, 4

• NAVEDTRACOM activities use four categories:– CAT 1, 2, 3, 4

NAVY UNIT SITREP

• Report information that does not meet the PINNACLE/NAVY BLUE criteria

• Provide the Immediate Superior in Command (ISIC) and appropriate Navy operational commanders and higher authority with timely notification of any incident

• Usage driven by potential media interest

Serialization

• All reports are serialized in sequence by incident regardless of FLAGWORD.

• Beginning with 00 assigned to the first incident of each calendar year.

• Subsequent reports with the same incident are assigned sequential letter suffixes (001A, 001B, 001C).

• New incidents are serialized 002 with follow-on reports serialized with assigned successive suffixes (002A, 002B, 002C).

• Events carrying over into a new calendar year continue with the same serialization.

Considerations

• Who is/was involved?

• What happened?

• Where did it happen?

• When did it happen?

• Why did it happen?

• What action is ongoing?

• What future action is contemplated?

• What is the impact on the commands mission capability?

• Is any assistance required?

• Is media attention anticipated?

Considerations

• Never delay reporting awaiting amplifying information.

• In follow-up reporting, only update fields containing new information.

• CO assessment should address impact on mission, capabilities and assistances required.
