This is an updated version of the 'Cavalry Troop Reports Guide' that I have uploaded previously in photos (Cavalry Scout Group). I am leaving up the older photos in event someone wants to use that variant.
-----
Major difference is the removal of the Green 3 Report (Splash aka downed pilot) and addition of the Green 5 Report (MIJI aka electronic jamming/interference). This was done, as the likelihood of encountering a downed pilot is smaller chance, than possibility of encountering some type of electronic interference or jamming in training or on the battlefield.
This Green 5 is based off of CALL 17-20 Radio and Systems Operators Version 2 (AUG 2017) from the CALL (Center for Army Lessons Learned) website (https://call2.army.mil) , as the latest APT 3-20.97 Cavalry Troop does not contain a recent format (for trivia, the previous FM 3-20.971 2009 edition does mention the MJI Report however no format is given).
As this format is from 2017, I feel is fairly relevant and the most current variation. The FM 6-99 (Army Reports and Message Format) does contain a similar variant, however the latest FM 6-99 is from 2013.
-----
Some further formatting was done to the document for readability (Blue 7, Green 6, Red 2, Red 3 and Yellow 2A).
Additional descriptors were added to the Yellow 2A (40mm MK-19 vs M320 GL) and line 26 Pyrotechnic Signals was added. Technically line 26 is discretion of the unit, but I consider pyro signals near top of list for a resupply.
-----
I printed this on yellow paper (24 pound paper), as yellow is the color of the Cavalry. Also to avoid this guide getting lost in stack of other papers. I also laminated this with 3 mil laminate, which is thin enough to fold and not add too much bulk, but durable enough to last in the field (longer than normal un-laminated paper that is). With the the laminate Soldiers can also use map pens/sharpies and mark up if required.
-----
This reports guide is for anyone to use and design for their own specific unit.
My intent it to improve training and make my Scouts more effective.

Still a great way to summarize your recon AND it's exactly what needs to go into your overlay symbols for your map. Give that to the commanders and viola you're complete.
Now go do it again on this route.
