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.
