Every Soldier plays a role when it comes to situational awareness through reporting. Soldiers and DA Civilians have the obligation to collect, safeguard, and report information, which contributes to the commander's situational understanding. Training instills all Soldiers with the obligation to report information obtained during the course of their activities. All Soldiers and DA Civilians must understand how their daily observations feed into the bigger picture and help create a more favorable environment for U.S. success in a region. Interaction with the local populace enables Soldiers to obtain information of immediate value through conversation, helps build mutual understanding, and increases an understanding of the environment. Soldiers observe and report information to facilitate decision making.
