1.2. The Joint Reporting Structure (JRS). See USMTF Message Formats (CD ROM) JIEOH 9000, for reporting requirements. The Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) established the JRS to provide:

1.2.1. The information requirements of the National Command Authorities (NCA) and their supporting staffs.

1.2.2. A systematic approach for establishing, reviewing, and monitoring report requirements.

1.2.3. A set of standards to help data processing and display. Report information through this system that directly relates to the planning, execution, and analysis of military operations. The system includes all major areas of military operations required to support decision-making at the national level.

1.3. Service Reports. The Service Chiefs establish Service-unique report requirements in addition to the information required by JCS. The Chief Of Staff Air Force (CSAF) requirements are in AFM 10-206. Canadian Forces requirements are in HQDP 100. Since information reported through the Service systems falls within the general parameters in paragraph 1.3 (that is, planning, execution, and analysis), they are considered an integral part of the JRS. JRS standards are used in the Service systems, laterally and vertically. If a JCS report also meets the information requirements of a Service Chief, a dual address to JCS and the Service Headquarters is used instead of separate reports.

1.4. The Aerospace Reporting System (ARS):

1.4.1. JCS has tasked CINCNORAD, in support of the JRS, to develop a single reporting structure to provide information on the conduct of aerospace defense operations. Additionally, the Terms of Reference (TOR) for CINCNORAD, 27 October 1993, gives requirements for binational information flow. The ARS is the primary vehicle for NORAD support of the JRS, Canadian National Defense Headquarters (NDHQ) requirements, and CINCNORAD TOR. The ARS also includes other reports required by NORAD commanders at all levels to enhance the planning, directing, coordinating, and controlling of assigned forces. Maximum interface of the JRS and ARS is achieved by aligning NORAD procedures and reports with the JRS. Therefore, all record reports will be accomplished according to United States Message Text Format (USMTF).

1.4.2. Units assigned and supporting OPLAN 3110-95, OPLAN 3200-95 or CONPLAN 3310 submit reports using procedures and addressees in this instruction during actual or exercise defense readiness conditions (DEFCON). If required, recipients consolidate inputs from subordinate units and send to higher headquarters. Exception: OPREP-3 BEELINE and PINNACLE reports are not consolidated. Deployed NORAD units, which rely on host base units to submit reports, will ensure NORAD reporting requirements in this instruction are met. Augmentation forces follow procedures in this instruction during actual or exercise defense readiness conditions (DEFCON).

1.4.3. It is also directive in nature on NORAD Canadian Forces (CF) units for those matters that have a direct bearing on NORAD operational capabilities. In all other matters, NORAD CF units comply with appropriate CF directives.

1.4.4. When voice reports are submitted to NORAD, give the report title to the individual receiving the report before relaying the text.

1.5. Reporting Authority. DOD Directive 5000.19; and AFIs 10-206 and 37-124 give the authority for JCS and Service information requirements. CINCNORAD TOR gives the authority for NORAD requirements.

1.6. Report Categories. Information sent through the ARS, as in the JRS, is divided into two categories:

1.6.1. Operations Reports. These reports provide information on NORAD Operations and operational units. They include information about the planning, initiation, termination, and results of aerospace defense operations, significant incidents and events, or operational situations. These reports enable NORAD commanders at all levels to determine their readiness capability and to determine an appropriate response to a significant incident.

1.6.2. Situation Monitoring Reports. These reports provide essential intelligence information to NORAD commanders to help them evaluate the known or potential enemy tactical or strategic courses of action.

1.7. Communications Security (COMSEC). Classified encrypted reports are subject to compromise when attempts are made to clarify the report with unsecure telephone conversations. Do not attempt to "talk around" classified information when using unsecure means. Do not elaborate when discussing UNCLASSIFIED (but sensitive) information when using unsecure means. Consideration should be given to sending unclassified reports messages Encrypt For Transmission Only (EFTO).

2.2. Chief, Battle Management Operations Branch (J3OB):

2.2.1. Manages the ARS.

2.2.2. Monitors JRS report requirements and recommends changes to the JRS for JCS approval.

2.2.3. Coordinates report structure to the JRS and ARS per DOD Directive 5000.19 and AFI37-124.

2.2.4. Coordinates changes to the ARS (see Chapter 3) and the Canadian reports requirements.

2.2.5. Coordinates reports included in the ARS (see Chapter 3).

2.3. Staff Agencies. A functional manager has been assigned for each report. (See figure 2.1). Each functional manager:

2.3.1. Determines requirements for information which support the broad guidelines in Chapter 1.

2.3.2. Reviews existing JRS, ARS, and Canadian reports to decide if the information is readily available at this Headquarters or from other sources.

2.3.3. Develops procedures for collecting, analyzing, and maintaining information at this Headquarters, including the forwarding of data required by JCS, NDHQ, Air Command, and the US Service Chiefs.

2.3.4. Monitors the effectiveness of JRS and ARS reports to meet JCS and NORAD requirements.

2.3.5. Processes new report requirements or recommendations for changes.

2.4. NORAD Regions:

2.4.1. May develop detailed procedures (as supplements) to ensure reports are submitted promptly. Procedures must include compiling and forwarding reports from subordinate and field units (such as sector operations control centers (SAOC), long range radars (LRR), fighter units, and so on).

2.4.2. Monitor report effectiveness and make recommendations for improvements to the HQ NORAD report functional managers.

4.1.1. The OPREP consists of:

4.1.1.1. Operations Planning Report (OPREP-1).

4.1.1.2. Operations Start Report (OPREP-2).

4.1.1.3. Event or Incident Report (OPREP-3). OPREP-3 is considered a special and separate report and is discussed in chapter 5 in detail. All references to the OPREP system in the remainder of this chapter refer to OPREPs 1, 2, 4, and 5.

4.1.1.4. Operations Stop and Results Report (OPREP-4).

4.1.1.5. Operations Summary Report (OPREP-5).

4.1.2. OPREP reports are prepared when required and normally support JCS Publication 6, volume II, part 2, chapter 3. OPREP-1 is used to describe planned operations for specific situations. NORAD reports are used as feeder reports to the OPREP-1 to include:

4.1.2.1. Fighter Status Report (see chapter 11).

4.1.2.2. E-3 Status Report (see chapter 12).

Note: If JCS, CSAF, or NDHQ requires a report of forces on a specific type of operation, use OPREP-1 to transmit the information.

4.1.3. OPREP-2 reports are start reports and there are no NORAD reports which could feed this report on a regular basis.

4.1.4. OPREP-4 reports advise of completion of an operation or phase and the results or estimated results. This could apply to intercept results or an operations plan if JCS required the information. No specific NORAD reports are scheduled to feed the OPREP-4.

4.1.5. OPREP-5 reports provide summarized data and are used only as required. The reports listed under OPREP-1 could also be used to formulate OPREP-5.

4.2. Submitted By. All NORAD units. It applies to Canadian Forces (CF) units for those matters that have a direct bearing on NORAD operational capabilities. In all other matters, NORAD CF units comply with appropriate CF directives.

4.3. Submitted To. See USMTF Message Formats JIEOH 9000; AFM 10-206; and Chapter 5 of this instruction.

4.4. When Submitted. Submit when directed by JCS.

4.10. Headquarters Functional Manager. HQ NORAD, Chief, Battle Management Operations Branch (N/J3OB).

5.1.1. OPREP-3 reports categorize events or incidents according to their nature. Flagwords associated with each category aid prompt transmission, processing, and distribution of the reports by alerting people to their importance. The following common flagwords are extracted from AFMAN10-206 :

5.1.1.1. PINNACLE (OPREP-3P). This report provides information to the National Command Authorities, NMCC, and appropriate commanders on any incident or event of national level interest which does not require notification using other OPREP-3 reports. Submit an OPREP-3 PINNACLE report if there is any doubt an event or incident is, or could be, of interest to White House, Department of Defense (DOD), the Joint Staff, or news media.

5.1.1.2. PINNACLE NUCFLASH (OPREP-3PNF). This reports the actual or possible detonation of a US nuclear weapon which may cause the outbreak of a nuclear war. This report has the highest precedence in the OPREP-3 reporting structure.

5.1.1.3. PINNACLE FRONT BURNER (OPREP-3PFB). This reports any attack on North America or harassment of NORAD forces. For cruise missile reports (figure 5.2), include the following information:

-- Unit/aircraft detecting: Unit/aircraft name
-- Type and number as: (number) ALCM, SLCM, or ASM
-- Location: Lat / Long
-- Altitude: Low / Med / High
-- Heading: Degrees
-- Engagement Status: (if engaged, provide results in follow-up reports)

5.1.1.4. PINNACLE BROKEN ARROW (OPREP-3PBA). This reports an accidental event involving nuclear weapons or nuclear components but does not create a risk of nuclear war.

5.1.1.5. BEELINE (OPREP-3B). This report provides information on any incident or event where US Air Force level interest is indicated but not requiring an OPREP-3 PINNACLE report. Although the report normally remains within US Air Force channels, commanders may add other addressees, as appropriate, to avoid duplicate reporting. HQ USAF may make BEELINE information available to agencies outside the Air Force (e.g. NMCC, State Dept.) based on the situation.

5.1.1.6. BENT SPEAR (OPREP-3BS), and FADED GIANT (OPREP-3FG). These are service requirements which are reported through service chains of command.

5.1.1.7. HOMELINE (OPREP-3H). This report provides information on any incident or event with MAJCOM level interest indicated but not requiring OPREP-3 Pinnacle or Beeline reporting. Regions may identify Homeline reporting requirements in their supplements.

5.2. Submitted By. The lowest level of command having knowledge of an event or incident submits the OPREP-3 report (see paragraph 1.5.2.).

Note: When in doubt, report it!

5.3. When Submitted. OPREP-3 Reports Matrix (AFMAN 10-206 Part 2, Chapter 3) outlines OPREP-3 PINNACLE and BEELINE events/incidents. OPREP-3 Homelines events are identified by Regions. Continue to report OPREPs during MINIMIZE.

5.4. How Submitted:

5.4.1. Voice Reports. Rapid reporting is imperative. Do not delay an initial report for lack of information. Use follow-up reports for additional information when it becomes available. Due to the extremely time sensitive nature of the PINNACLE NUCFLASH report, transmit these voice reports no later than 5 minutes after learning of the event. Transmit OPREP-3 reports by the fastest means available consistent with security constraints (e.g.: the NORAD Alerting System, or a nonsecure voice transmission) followed by a confirming record transmission. Transmit reports containing classified or special intelligence information with the proper security precautions. Include the flagword JOPREP JIFFY after the classification on all OPREP-3 messages.

5.4.1.1. Regions will outlline procedures for conducting voice reporting.

5.4.1.2. Submit voice reports using figure 5.1 directly to the Air Force Operations Support Center (AFOSC) through the NORAD Command Center. AFOSC will ensure NMCC, or the Canadian National Defence Operations Center (NDOC), receives the appropriate information. Following telephone numbers are listed for reference to conduct OPREP reporting:

NORAD Command Center:
DSN 268-4581/4582/4583

5.4.3. Report Numbering. Number OPREP-3 reports consecutively, regardless of category, for the calendar year beginning with 001. Subsequent reports for the same incident will add sequential letters to the basic report number (e.g. 002A, 002B). After the number 999, revert to 001 for the next report.

5.4.4. Exercise Reports. Number exercise reports independently of "real world" reports using the same OPREP-3 formats. Begin exercise reports with 001 at the start of each exercise

5.4.5. Follow up Reports. Follow-up reports are essential to keep commanders informed of developing situations and to provide additional details as they are learned. Use follow-up reports as long as the immediacy of the situation warrants. When this timeliness is no longer required, SITREP reporting may be initiated provided the follow-up information is not being submitted in another report.

6.2. Tracks Reported. RAOC/SAOC file reports on reportable tracks within their AOR. Reportable tracks are Unknown, Special, Hostile/Faker, and any track believed to be a possible threat, regardless of classification. SAOCs will file reports on tracks detected by E-3, OTHR systems, or sensors under another non-NORAD agency control (e.g. JAITF-W) when the track enters the SAOC's AOR.

Note: Information on any military combat aircraft tracks belonging to a country of interest (as defined in NR 55-24) within or approaching the ADIZ will be dealt with IAW special ID procedures outlined in NI10-15. Furthermore, all potential and verified foreign combat capable aircraft tracks anywhere in the vicinity of the Cuban landmass will be forward told to the ADOC regardless of heading. All available amplifying data must be voice forwarded as rapidly as it becomes available to ensure the ADOC receives the most current information.

6.2.1 Additional guidance for Hostile, Faker, and Special 21 track reporting. If the track begins as an Unknown or Special 21 and becomes a Hostile/Faker, clarify what made the aircraft a Hostile/Faker and continue to pass track information to the ADOC as requested.

6.2.2. Additional guidance for Special Tracks (other than SP 7, 16, 17, 20, 21 and 23). Call ADOC within 15 minutes of Forward Tell and pass the following information: track number; special number; departure/arrival locations; estimated time of arrival; any additional pertinent information.

6.2.3. Additional guidance for Unknown tracks and tracks perceived to be a threat or of national interest. Information on all Unknown tracks must be immediately electronically forward told. The completed Form 61 will be forwarded NLT 1 hour after final action is completed unless otherwise directed by the ADOC. Information on any track, regardless of classification, perceived to be a threat (e.g. foreign military combat aircraft) or of national interest will immediately be electronically and voice forwarded to the ADOC. All amplifying data, that cannot be transmitted electronically must be voice forwarded as rapidly as it becomes available to ensure the RAOC receives the most current information. The ADOC will advise the ADOC whether or not a Form 61 will be required. The ADOC, to minimize repetitive comms, will strive to establish a consolidated information package when additional data is required.

6.2.4. The NORAD ADOC has no requirement to receive UNKNOWN track reports from the ICELAND RAOC on a day-to-day basis unless CINCNORAD OPLAN 3200 has been executed, or unless DEFCON 3 or higher has been declared, at which time Iceland RAOC will also report tracks identified or correlated as cruise missiles, cruise missile carriers, CIS military or threat aircraft.

6.2.5. NORAD agencies use Form 61 to record air activity information on Unknown, Special 17 and 21 tracks. The SAOC submits by voice to the RAOC the information in blocks 1-9, 23-27, 33-36, and 46 within 5 minutes after action is taken. The RAOC relays the information by voice immediately to the ADOC and forwards the completed Form 61 NLT 1 hour after final action is complete unless otherwise directed by the ADOC.

Note: If fighters are committed, their track information, for the duration of the mission, must be forward told to the ADOC once the fighters are airborne. Amplifying data on fighters, if required by ADOC, will be requested to be continually updated by voice.

6.2.6. If amplifying information, temporary or permanent, on any track is required, the ADOC will immediately advise the RAOC. If this new operational reporting requirement is permanent, HQ NORAD must be verbally advised by the ADOC within 24 hours followed by a suggested amendment to this instruction within 72 hours.

6.3. Reported By. NORAD Regions and Sectors, Iceland Air Defense Sector (ICADS), and E-3s. Amplifying data on Special 17's is normally available within 24 hours from the Domestic Air Interdiction Coordination Center (DAICC) Intelligence Section. Region/Sector intelligence sections will coordinate directly with the DAICC to obtain this information to ensure complete reporting.

6.4. Reported To. CANR SAOC, the Alaskan RAOC, CONUS RAOC and the ICADS report to NORAD ADOC. CONUS SAOCs report to the CONUS RAOC. E-3s will report to NORAD ADOC when not reporting to a SAOC, RAOC or Alternate Command Element (ACE). When a reportable track crosses between areas of responsibility, the forwarding SAOC will report the track to adjacent Sector, Region, and the NORAD ADOC. Reporting agencies also use the ADNET to report Special 17 tracks and follow up data in coordination with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the DIACC or appropriate Joint Interagency Task Force..

6.5. How Reported:

6.5.1. Initial Reporting. All reportable tracks, IAW para 6.2, will be immediately forward told electronically. In addition, Special 17 tracks will be transmitted over the ADNET system IAW NR55-23.

19.1.1. CINCNORAD requires all information which provides warning of a hostile attack to include Electronic Attack (EA) degradation of any portion of the C3 system where such degradation impedes or prevents NORAD forces from locating a hostile attack and/or conducting the air battle. The detection of EA may be the first indication of an attack. The direction of an attacking force may be determined from the azimuth of the hostile jamming.

19.1.2. ECTARs are used by NORAD facilities to report the initial presence and direction of an EA event in their areas of responsibility. ECSUMs are used to report further system degradation by EA events after the initial ECTAR report. Significant degradation to a C3 element, the inability of an element to continue its mission, and cessation of EA attack are also reported by ECSUM. The content of the ECTAR and ECSUM reports provide report origin, affected functions, EA azimuth (ECTAR only), level of degradation (ECSUM only), and report time information.

19.1.3. Reports submitted in this chapter do not supersede or cancel electronic magnetic interference (EMI) reporting.
