This is subject to change as I am not exactly sure of everyone's specialty (inform me if I wrote something wrong).
Now moving on into the more complicated stuff such as: SITREPS (Situation Reports), LOCSTAT (Location Status), MAINTDEM (Maintainance Demands), Incident/Contact Reports, CASEVAC Requests and Lost Person reports.
INCIDENT/CONTACTREP
The Incident Report is to be used when an incident has happened (eg. Objective captured, Flagship destroyed). The Contact Report is to be used whilst in an outdoor environment when an enemy is spotted. Do not use whilst indoors as you will not have time.
INCIDENT/CONTACTREP
ALPHA: callsign of station involved in an incident
BRAVO: time in local time
CHARLIE: location of incident
DELTA: number of persons involved in the incident
ECHO: description of dress/any other relevant details
FOXTROT: any specific details of persons involved
GOLF: direction of travel of persons involved
HOTEL: brief account of incident.
For Example
"Storm HQ this is Andronicus, contact report over"

"Storm HQ, Andronicus. Alpha: Lancer Sierra, Bravo: 0241, Charlie: Three kilometres, twentry three degrees south west of checkpoint Lima, Delta: twelve, Echo: spotted three gungans, Foxtrot: Armed and dangerous, Golf: We are moving to intercept, Hotel: They appeared out of nowhere and began to hurl Jawas at us, over"

Wow... this has got to be my longest post ever...
Anywho... Use these commands for RATEL in the stories so that we can quickly identify the points and that it'll look more professional. Tune in next time for the "Squad and Element Commands".
