Downloaded from https://www.everyspec.com FM 34-54 Appendix E TECHNICAL INTELLIGENCE REPORTS This appendix describes the nine basic reports, which are listed below, that battlefield TECHINT analysts use. SALUTE report (Figure E-1). Preliminary Technical Report (PRETECHREP) (Figure E-2). Complementary Technical Intelligence Report (COMTECHREP) (Figures E-3, E-4, and E-5). Detailed Technical Report (DETECHREP). Technical Intelligence Update Report. Technical Intelligence Summary (TECHSUM). Technical Intelligence Report (TIR). Special technical reports. These reports are generated in response to requests for information.
The formats vary by request and usually address a specific question or requirement from a TECHINT consumer. Other equipment information reports. These reports focus on aspects of equipment that do not necessarily relate to intelligence needs per se. For example, the Theater commander may have a war trophy policy that permits units to evacuate certain equipment to their home stations for static displays. These reports may include driver's instructions, handling considerations, render-safe procedures, and demilitarization standards for equipment. The SALUTE report is an oral or written report prepared by the acquiring units or intermediate command echelons.
It is used to report rapidly, by electrical or other means, the capture of foreign materiel. These reports are forwarded to either the TECHINT LNEs at Corps, other TECHINT LNEs, or directly to the JCMEC. As a result of this information, a TECHINT team could be dispatched or the CEM could be moved to the Corps CMEC or the theater JCMEC. Figure E-1 gives an example of a completed SALUTE report.
