Preface
Field Manual (FM) 6-99 provides a standardized readily available reference for Army forces to extract common
reports and message templates. This manual is a collection of reports used by units of all sizes and forms the
base of Army information exchange in a degraded network environment. FM 6-99 facilitates a common
understanding of reporting and communicating throughout U.S. Army elements and it is the keystone manual
for report and message formats.
The principal audience for FM 6-99 is all members of the profession of arms. Commanders and staffs of Army
headquarters serving as joint task force or multinational headquarters should also refer to applicable joint or
multinational doctrine concerning the range of military operations and joint or multinational forces. Trainers
and educators throughout the Army will also use this manual.
Commanders, staffs, and subordinates ensure their decisions and actions comply with applicable U.S.,
international, and, in some cases, host-nation laws and regulations. Commanders at all levels ensure their
Soldiers operate in accordance with the law of war and the rules of engagement. (See FM 27-10).
FM 6-99 uses joint terms where applicable. Selected joint and Army terms and definitions appear in both the
glossary and the text. Terms for which FM 6-99 is the proponent publication (the authority) are marked with an
asterik (*) in the glossary. Definitions for which FM 6-99 is the proponent publication are boldfaced in the text.
For other definitions shown in the text, the term is italicized and the number of the proponent publication
follows the definition.
FM 6-99 applies to the Active Army, the Army National Guard/Army National Guard of the United States, and
the United States Army Reserve unless otherwise stated.
The proponent of FM 6-99 is the United States Army Combined Arms Center. The preparing agency is the
Combined Arms Doctrine Directorate, United States Army Combined Arms Center. Send comments and
recommendations on a DA Form 2028 (Recommended Changes to Publications and Blank Forms) to

Introduction
While U.S. forces are the most technologically advanced, the need for redundancy and interoperability
between joint and multinational forces requires the continued use of analog communication systems. Other
circumstances that require the use of voice message formats include potential attacks on the communication
networks, equipment failures, and inhospitable locations. This manual also provides the Army with an
effective method to communicate with joint and multinational forces that do not operate on parallel
communication platforms. The need to communicate expeditiously and succinctly via voice will remain as
the U.S. Army communication strategy evolves.
FM 6-99 is the U.S. Army’s doctrinal library for report and message voice templates. It prevents units from
wasting time and resources developing internal formats. FM 6-99 formats are derived from Army Battle
Command Systems (ABCS); United States message text formats (USMTF), historical Army reports, and
Allied Procedures Publications (APP).
As a user’s manual, FM 6-99 will influence future Army information systems, report and messages
graphics, and user interfaces. Formats contained in FM 6-99 are the means through which the Army will
adapt multiple reporting sources into a user-friendly and standardized message format library. FM 6-99
enables Army units to synchronize with joint and multinational communication structures without
modifying their normal mode of operation with similar reports.
A unit will use its report and message formats for all voice reporting. A unit will not modify these formats
unless authorized by the unit commander to allow for expanded critical information requirements. This
manual does not include many branch-specific or technical reports and messages. These formats are
contained in field manuals published by their respective proponents. Branch-specific or technical reports
complement the reports in this manual and are not superseded by the manual. However, use formats in
FM 6-99 whenever possible.
For reference to abbreviations, brevity codes, acronyms, terms and graphics used in this manual, refer to
AR 25-52 and ADRP 1-02.
Chapters 1 and 2 contain instruction on transmitting written and voice reports and messages. Appendix A
contains message formats.
This manual reflects updated changes in doctrine and procedures from previous editions. FM 6-99 is now
organized to provide the user with reports that are easier to transmit and pertinent to the modern battlefield.
The new FM 6-99:
z
Consolidates numerous reports to provide effective messaging and reduce repetitive messages.
z
Incorporates updated mission command messages to help commanders plan and execute
missions.
z
Removes directing instructions within reports and allows commanders to decide how and when
to use the reports.
z
Deletes certain nuclear and chemical references to mirror national policy on the use of these
weapons.
z
Eliminates repetitive lines for message brevity and clarity.
z
Updates references and terminology to reflect the latest doctrine.
FM 6-99 deletes, adds, or modifies reports listed in introductory tables 1 and 2.

Instructions
REPORT AND MESSAGE FORMATS
1-1. The report and message formats in this manual helps users prepare and manually transmit written and
voice reports and messages. Each format provides an organized template to record, pass, and store
information. To send a formatted voice message, operators fill in the appropriate blanks on the required
message template and read the message over the radio or telephone. The receiver knows the received
message type and can easily record the information in the proper format.
1-2. FM 6-99 enables standardization of battlefield reporting across all levels of command and throughout
different types of units. Every format listed in FM 6-99 operates as a voice message format. Standardized
voice formats permit all units to exchange information regardless of the unit’s level of communication
infrastructure. Future digital formats will evolve from those found in FM 6-99.
MESSAGE ORGANIZATION
1-3. All voice report and message formats consist of three main parts: heading, body, and conclusion.
Figure 1-1 shows an example of the parts of a message. FM 6-02.53 discusses message formatting in detail.
1-4. The heading is the administrative portion of the format. It identifies the message source and type.
The heading contains the message addressee, originator, and precedence. It also includes the message
classification, if required. All report and message formats in FM 6-99 are unclassified when blank. The unit
commander or standard operating procedures determine the classification of a completed message. Include
the completed heading when sending both hardcopy and voice messages.
1-5. The body contains information the originator sends to the addressee. In a properly prepared message,
the information is in the line-by-line format established for the message type. This information exchange is
the focus of FM 6-99.
1-6. The conclusion consists of the message authentication. An authentication is normally an
alphanumeric code from the unit signal operating instructions
(SOI). If the originator requests an
acknowledgement, the addressee replies by transmitting the pro-word will comply (“WILCO,”) lines 1 and
2 of the message being acknowledged and the pro-word
“OUT.” If the originator requires an
acknowledgement and read-back, the addressee replies by transmitting “WILCO” and repeating the lines
for which the read-back is required followed by “OUT.”

How to Use This Manual
MANUAL ORGANIZATION
2-1. Appendix A contains formats listed alphabetically by message name. The body of each format is
preceded by the report’s short title (for example, EODSPT for Explosive Ordnance Disposal Support),
report number, and a paragraph of general instructions.
REPORT FORMATS NUMBERING SYSTEM
2-2. Each format has a report number. Report numbers begin with the letter of report name followed by a
three-digit number. Messages with a United States Message Text Format (USMTF) number indicate the
report was derived from a USMTF message. For brevity and ease of voice transmission reports in FM 6-99,
do not mirror the associated USMTF messages. Verify the structure and information content of the report
before transferring information into a digital format. To maintain standardization across the U.S. Army, do
not change format numbers.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
2-3. Instructions briefly describe the report format’s use. When a message is sent at precedence higher
than ROUTINE, notate it. Message precedence is indicated in all upper case letters. Each report format
includes an acronym and abbreviation table defining acronyms and abbreviations in the format for ease of
understanding for the message sender.
LINE NUMBER AND NAME
2-4. Each format lists the information the report is used to transmit by line number, line name, and a
description of the type of information.
z
Transmit the line number when sending voice messages. Do not transmit the line name unless
the name itself is necessary information. For example, line 3 of an acknowledge message is the
message type and is transmitted. Lines 2 and 3 of an acknowledge message would sound like
this when sent by voice: “line 2, 2-39 FA; line 3, acknowledge.”
z
When standard information is associated with a line, place it in the right column of the format in
upper-case letters. For example, the standard entries for line 6 of an acknowledge message are
ACKNOWLEDGE and WILCO.
z
When a line requires detailed instructions, two asterisks precede the instructions (**).
z
When transmitting information on one line makes the following line redundant, the word “(OR)”
is placed between the lines. Do not transmit redundant lines.
z
Each format contains lines that require some of the information discussed below. Follow these
instructions when preparing messages that require transmission of these types of information.
DATE AND TIME GROUP
2-5. The date and time group
(DTG) line of a message identifies the message origination time.
Additionally, many report and message formats require DTG for additional information. Regardless of
where the DTG is used within a report or message, it is expressed as DDHHMM(X) MMMYY where:
z
DD indicates the day of the month.
19 August 2013
FM 6-99
2-1
Chapter 2
z
HH indicates the hour of the day using the 24-hour clock.
z
MM indicates the minutes within the hour.
z
X indicates the alphabetic character that denotes the time zone. In written messages, the time
zone is followed by a space.
z
MMM indicates the first three letters of the month of the year. In written messages, all letters are
in upper case.
z
YY indicates the last two digits of the year.
2-6. For example, 3 p.m. local time on 16 July 2005 is expressed as “161500(L) JUL 05.” In a voice
message, say: “one six one fife hundred lima (or local) July zero fife.”
UNITS
2-7. The first line of a format requiring an entry for “unit” is to identify the unit making the report.
Occasionally, a subunit line is also provided for reporting information from or about subunits. Unit
standard operating procedures dictate the format for the unit name (for example, the call sign.)
LOCATIONS
2-8. Use the military grid reference system (MGRS) to express all locations unless the format specifies a
different coordinate system such as latitude and longitude (LAT/LONG) or universal transverse mercator
(UTM). A complete MGRS location includes a longitudinal zone designated by a number (for example,
32), a latitudinal band designated by a letter (for example, T), a 100,000 meter grid square designated by
two letters (for example RW), and a grid coordinate designated by digits. The UTM grid zone designator
consists of the longitudinal zone and latitudinal band (for example, 32T). The MGRS grid zone designator
is the two-letter 100,000 meter designator (for example, RW). (See FM 3-25.26 for further details on
MGRS.)
2-9. Send all locations as six-digit grids preceding the 100,000 meter grid square designator (for example
“RW121972”) unless instructions state otherwise. To avoid confusion, do not transmit the zone and band
indicators unless requested or required in the message format. If requestors require locations expressed to a
greater precession than a six-digit coordinate, they must specify the required detail prior to the information
exchange.
ADDITION OR DELETION OF LINE NUMBERS
2-10. Originators of voice messages only complete the lines required to pass the essential information.
They omit lines that contain no information unless a negative report is necessary. Units may add lines or
repeat lines to complete information requirements. While actual message transmissions may vary slightly
from the format in this manual, do not delete lines from formats when reproducing them in unit standard
operating procedures to maintain standardization across the U.S. Army.
