Chapter 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1. General. This instruction establishes operational reporting within AFSPC. The reporting requirements in this instruction are structured to conform to those specified in Joint Reporting Structure (JRS) of the Joint Staff (JS) and the Air Force Operational Reporting System (AFOREP). Specific Air Force Space Command responsibilities, formats, and reporting requirements are outlined herein.
1.2. Overall Responsibilities. The Commander Space Operations Flight (DOC), Directorate of Operations (DO), and Headquarters AFSPC are the overall offices of primary responsibility (OPR) for the AFSPC Reporting System (ARS).
1.3. Definitions and Abbreviations. The definitions and abbreviations used in this instruction conform to JS Publication 1.
1.4. Supporting Procedures. This instruction outlines the requirements for the ARS and requires supporting operating procedures and checklists.
1.5. Recommendations for changes. Send recommendations and revisions to this instruction to HQ AFSPC/DOC, 150 Vandenberg St, Ste 1105, Peterson AFB CO 80914-4190 for approval.
Chapter 2
AFSPC REPORTING SYSTEM (ARS)
2.1. General. JS reports are designed at the highest level of command, and are specified for use at all levels. The JRS serves as a model for all report systems created by subordinate levels of command. The JRS defines the format and content of reports specifically required by the JS of subordinate commands and further establishes a report structure that is used by all subordinates as a prototype for subsequently designed reporting systems. This system does not include all service and command designed reports necessary to satisfy the unique missions of the services and the commands. Within AFSPC there are three separate reporting systems: the JRS of the JS, the AFOREP, and the ARS as detailed in this instruction. Where possible, the ARS follows the content and format criteria of the JRS and AFOREP. The reporting requirements in this instruction are exempt from licensing in accordance with paragraph 2.11.10 of AFI 37-124, The Information Collections and Reports Management Program; Controlling Internal, Public, and Interagency Air Force Information Collections. All AFSPC subordinate units are required to maintain Air Force publications referenced in this instruction as follows:
2.1.1. AFMAN 10-206, Operational Reporting.
2.1.2. AFP 102-2, Vol I, Joint User Handbook for Message Text Formats (JUH-MTF).
2.1.3. AFI 91-204, Investigating and Reporting USAF Mishaps.
2.1.4. AFI 31-101 Volume 1, and Volume 2 (C) The Physical Security Program (PA) (U).
2.1.5. AFI 10-707, Spectrum Interference Resolution.
2.2. AFSPC Reporting System (ARS). The system is designed to:
2.2.1. Conform to the reporting format and reporting criteria of the JRS of the JS and the AFOREP while allowing the latitude to design AFSPC unique reports using the same standardized reporting criteria.
2.2.2. Satisfy the information needs of the NCA, Chief of Staff of the Air Force (CSAF), USSPACECOM, USSTRATCOM, NORAD, and Commander, AFSPC.
2.2.3. Help the Commander, AFSPC plan, direct, coordinate, and control assigned forces.
2.2.4. Provide a systematic approach to establishing and monitoring report requirements.
2.3. How To Submit Reports:
2.3.1. AFSPC wings and groups submit reports using the procedures and addressees specified in this instruction. Wings/groups will specify reporting procedures for subordinate units. Maximum support from host bases should be arranged to meet Air Force reporting requirements for subordinate units that are tenants on other installations. Reports submitted by host bases will not be duplicated through AFSPC channels.
2.3.2. Voice reports submitted by AFSPC units begin and end with the report title.
2.4. Reporting Authority. Joint Publication 2, DOD Directive 7750.5, and AFMAN 10-206 provide the authority for ARS reporting requirements.
2.5. Report Categories. Information sent through the ARS is divided into the following categories:
2.5.1. Operational and Maintenance Reports. Provide information on planning, initiation, termination, and results of operations, significant events, incidents, or operational situations. These reports enable AFSPC commanders at all levels to determine and report their readiness capability and to provide and receive appropriate responses to significant incidents. Reports under this category are the operational reports (OPREP) and the Spectrum Interference Resolution Report.
2.5.2. Other Reports and Notifications. Provide Daily Operations Reports (DORs) and Daily Activity Reports (DARs). Those units with a requirement to submit DORs or DARs will use formats and requirements in each unit's Tactical Requirements Document (TRD), AFI, or similar document.

ARS FORMAT AND CHANGES
4.1. General. The ARS requires standardization of rules for describing reports and effecting changes to the system.
4.2. Report Description Format. This instruction uses a standard, formatted sequence of characteristics (figure 4.1) to describe message types. Some message types (e.g. SOR/DORs/DARs) may deviate from this format.
4.3. Changes, Additions, or Deletions. Changes, additions, or deletions to the ARS may require new reporting policies, procedures, instructions, requirements, data elements, and revisions to existing reports. Users at all levels are encouraged to submit recommendations, additions, or deletions when necessary. Changes to individual reports are sent to the FM as listed in figure 3.1 with an information copy to HQ AFSPC/DOC. FMs must review report requirement and content at least annually. FMs coordinate all changes, additions, or deletions with HQ AFSPC/DOC and applicable wings and groups to ensure currency of all reports.
4.4. Report Transmission. Reports are sent by AUTODIN/SACCS from wings, groups or GSUs (as determined by parent wing/group) unless the AFSPC Command Center directs voice only.
4.5. Reporting Requirements and Procedures. Specific reporting guidance to support the ARS is contained for each report in the appropriate chapter of this instruction.
