INTRODUCTION
AIM
2.ý The LCH is the replacement for Army Formation Standing Operating
Procedures (AFSOPs) which was issued in 1989 and is now substantially out of
date. As with AFSOPs, this publication is produced in two parts: Part 2 (this
document) is a complete set of Reports and Returns for use at Formation level. It
should be used with Part 1 which contains procedural and descriptive material.
CONTENTS
4.ý The LCH has been structured in accordance with the requirements of the
divisional headquarters. Individual sections have been drafted principally by
formation staffs, but also with contributions and comments from many authorities
and/or experts in particular fields. They have been reviewed to ensure maximum
consistency with current doctrinal publications. The LCH is a key implementing
document for many International standardisation agreements, particularly STANAGs
and QSTAGs. In certain respects their contents are therefore effectively mandated.
5.ý All future operations are likely to take place in both a Joint and Multi-National
context. The LCH has been written to be consistent with Joint, NATO and UN
doctrine and terminology. The use of operational writing and abbreviations has been
deliberately minimised to increase utility. While undoubtedly increasing their size,
the resulting increase in clarity and readability will mean that they are immediately
understandable by other Nations and Services.
6.ý The LCH Part 2 contains a comprehensive range of Reports and Returns. It
includes all the messages from APP-9 (The Compendium of Allied Land Forces
Messages), together with many additional messages required by Formations. Note
that special to arm messages, especially where these may have no relevance
outside that specialist area, have not necessarily been included. Where an
appropriate R2 format is included, its use is mandatory. Local modifications
or amendments to messages are not permitted.

AIRSPACE CONTROL MEANS REQUEST
Notes:
1. Select from:
2. Serials ALPHA through JULIET may be repeated as a message block (segment) where more than one type of Airspace Control Means
is to be specified.
Notes:
1. Repeat as necessary.
A 21 Optical Boundary
B 29 ADA Number (4 Chars)
30 Quantity of Fire Units (4 Chars)
C 33 Optical Boundary Point 1 (1) GR (15 Chars)
K 45 All Weather Boundary
L 63 ADA Number (4 Chars)
66 Quantity of Fire Units (4 Chars)
M 88 All Weather Boundary Point 1 (1) GR (15 Chars)
Notes:
1. To indicate the ADA boundary (air defence coverage), repeat up to a maximum of 10 points.
2. Where boundary points do not join, the coverage is to be interpreted as a route defence.
Notes:
1. All casualties admitted are to be the subject of a separate ADMITREP, until ordered otherwise by higher formation. When transmission of
separate ADMITREPs for all casualties becomes impractical, they are to be limited to those concerned with the admission of other
nations' casualties. The ADMITREP is to be submitted for all casualties on admission, on change of "listing" and on discharge.
Notes:
1. Repeat as necessary where more than one type of equipment/ammunition is being reported.

2. The Mission paragraph provides direction to appropriate subordinate commanders to assume operational control of specified forces, take
control of reallocated logistic stocks, and/or control the employment of other national resources. The actual mission statement will depend upon
actions authorised under EIW conditions. However, it should be concise and specify the exact mission that the designated commander(s) is/are
expected to perform with newly allocated forces/resources.

1. All parts of this message must be included. If a particular element does not apply, not applicable (NA) is to be reported.
Notes:
1. There is no required format or structure for the EIWSUPPORT message. Its use is intended to support timely implementation of action
requested by EIW declaration. In some cases, information reported by EIWSUPPORT could be provided using other messages. However,

1. This report is structured to meet the requirements of a Deliberate JAAT operation, i.e. one that is incorporated into an OPLAN from the
outset, and where the JAAT mission orders are given as part of normal battle procedure. Where a Quick JAAT operation proves necessary,
using whatever resources are available at the time, only the essential elements need be used.
2. Users include Close Air Support (CAS) and Naval Gunfire Support (NGFS) units; Air Liaison Officers (ALOs), Airborne Forward Air
Controllers (ABFACs)/Tactical Air Control Points (TACPs), NGFS Observers (NGFSOs), Forward Observation Officers (FOOs) and Airborne
Observation Posts (AOPs).
3. JAAT units are listed according to their Command Status (see below).
4. Repeat where more than one Command Status applies. Select from:
6. This paragraph should be tailored to suit the particular operation but should follow the structure shown. For Deliberate JAAT operations
the initial and key headings will always be "Commander's Intent" and "Concept of Operations".
7. Headings will vary considerably according to the nature and scope of the operation. Those shown are typical, but alternatives may be
used. Where Serials are used, these should be assumed to equate to the headings shown. Alternative headings must be stated.
8. Detail included in this section of the JAATMSNO should provide the minimum essential information for the administrative and logistical
support of the specific mission/task to which it refers. Typical headings are shown as examples.
9. Headings may include, but will not normally be limited to, those shown. See also Note 7.

1. The INTSUM is used to periodically inform formations and other addressees on military and related political/economic intelligence and
assessment thereof where this gives an indication of change in potential OPFOR capabilities, preparedness, military posture, activities,
objectives and/or courses of action in peace, time of tension and hostilities.
Notes:
Special Instructions:
1. There are three types of TSAREP, concurrent to the phases of the Target Status Assessment (TSA) process as stated in ACE Directive
Number 65-6, are used. These are:
a. Initial TSAREP - to report, as soon as possible and within 3 hours, the initial results of the attack.
b. Enhanced TSAREP - to report, within 12 hours, the assessed status of the attacked target.
c. Mature TSAREP - to report, within 36 hours, the definitive status of the attacked target.
2. Timely submission of all TSAREPs is essential for further conduct of the operation and the planning cycle. It also provides information
needed for the decision making process at the highest military political levels. The following therefore applies:
a. Unit Commanders are responsible for their Initial TSAREP to the Sub-PSC.
b. Sub-PSCs are to submit their Enhanced and Mature TSAREPs to the MSC. Initial, Enhanced and Mature TSAREPs have to be
submitted to other Sub-PSCs which have operational interest in that specific target.
c. When Mature Target Status Assessment takes place at the MSC, the MSC is to submit the Mature TSAREP to the Sub-PSCs
which have an operational interest in that specific target.
d. During Peace Support Operations (PSO) collateral damage is a political and military sensitive issue. Therefore, during PSOs, or
other operations as indicated by the MNC involved, all TSAREPs indicating collateral damage must be submitted via the MSC to the MNC
involved. [Collateral damage - see Note 7 below]
e. The MNC involved has the authority to request TSAREPs of targets of special interest. The MNC will notify the MSC in advance of
such TSA requirements.

01 LINE Sequence of grid references describes a line from rear to front and from left to right facing the front.
02 POINT Each grid reference is displayed as a dot.
03 CIRCLE Each pair of grid references defines the centre of a circle (first point) and one point of this circle.
04 AREA Sequence of grid references describes an area clockwise; the first field may not be repeated at the end to close the
line.
05 ARROW The first grid reference describes the beginning (arrow head or point), the second grid reference describes the end
of the arrow (shaft).
