Situation report

"Anyone in the barracks, I need a SitRep. Now!"

- Commander Miranda Keyes

A situation report, or SitRep for short, is a short report given by infantry to their superiors back at HQ, usually to deliver quick, concise information regarding status, position and other important information.

These reports have been ordered frequently by many military commanders, including Lord Hood in the Battle of Earth and Commander Miranda Keyes in the Battle of Tsavo to Marine fireteams that were under attack, usually to receive no response because they had already been taken prisoner or killed.
