OPNAV INSTRUCTION F3100.6K
From: Chief of Naval Operations
Subj: SPECIAL INCIDENT REPORTING PROCEDURES
Ref: See Appendix A
1. Purpose. This instruction publishes guidance, policy and procedures for special incident
reports outlined in references (a) and (b). These reports are used to provide timely information
on critical situations and military operations. This instruction has undergone numerous editorial
and technical changes and should be reviewed in its entirety. Major changes include:
a. Commanders are required to consult with a JAG in all alleged sexual harassment cases
and are required to consult a CCS in all alleged discrimination, harassment and sexual
harassment cases.
b. Bullying has been defined and is to be tracked per the Office of Secretary of Defense
Policy Memorandum on Hazing and Bullying Prevention and Response in the Armed Forces
(December 23, 2015). Bullying has been added as an incident that may require an OPREP-3
NAVY BLUE if there is possible media attention.
c. The definition of Sexual Harassment has been updated to align with Title 10 U.S.C. 1561.
d. “Suicide-Related Behavior” has replaced various terms relating to the topic to reflect
current terminology and policy. Suicide-Related Behavior is not considered misconduct as that
applies stigma and becomes contradictory to the Navy’s desire to promote help-seeking
behavior.
e. Unmanned Systems (to include UAS) hostile action and general reporting requirements
have been added to this instruction, with reference to the current NAVADMIN guidance for
report content and message addressees and with direction to utilize current Office of the Chief of
Naval Operations (OPNAV), COCOM or FLEET guidance for report content.
f. EAM requirements have been updated for NC3, FSBS. An OPREP-3 PINNACLE is
required for a complete loss of the ability to deliver EAMs via the FSBS transmitters supporting

either LANT or PAC AOR or both that has no identifiable resolution or has not been resolved in
15 minutes. An OPREP-3 NAVY BLUE is required for a complete loss of the ability to deliver
EAMs via the FSBS transmitters supporting either LANT or PAC AOR or both that is resolved
in more than three minutes but less than 15 minutes.
g. Changed PLADs:
(1) DIRSSP WASHINGTON DC added for many SSBN messages and CTF 134 and
CTF 144 were replaced with addresses CTG 114.3, CTG 114.4, CTF 114 and JFMCC STRAT.
(2) NAVORDSAFSECACT INDIAN HD was changed to NAVORDSAFSECACT

INDIAN HEAD MD
(3) CJFMCCNORTH deleted.
(4) CNO added to NAVY BLUE SENTINEL for UAS tracking.
(5) Reference to ‘MISHAP Addresses’ deleted.
(6) NAVY INSIDER THREAT HUB ELEMENT WASHINGTON DC added.
h. Changed paradigm for “assessed hoaxes.” Many false reports develop into larger public
relations issues than actual bomb threats or active shooters. Reports are still expected to be
submitted for false reports or hoaxes.
i. Reduced reporting for negligent discharge, including deletion of personally identifying

information requirements.
j. Reduced reporting for motorcycle incidents, including use of mishap classification as

decision criteria for reporting incidents.
k. Direct reporting to the NMCC was added for PINNACLE reports, to better align with
reference (a), with follow up reports to MOC and the NOC. This is tempered with the
understanding that ships at sea often do not have the ability to report directly to NMCC and have
to report through the chain of command.
l. Special emphasis on NMCC reporting is placed on PINNACLE EMPTY QUIVER

reports because of the specific need for timely action directed from NMCC.
m. Voice report timeline adjusted from five minutes to 15 minutes for most reports to align
with reference (a). Of note, PINNACLE NUCFLASH is still five minutes outlined in reference
(a) and EMPTY QUIVER is still five minutes for Navy emphasis.

n. FADED GIANT, PINNACLE BROKEN ARROW and BENT SPEAR narratives were
modified to cross reference the presence or status of nuclear reactors and weapons onboard. This
is intended to enable initial prioritization of actions in an event that could affect both a nuclear
propulsion plant and nuclear weapons.
o. Added NAVY BLUE personnel incident reporting for supremacist or extremist groups.
p. Thresholds for reporting MSLR and AA&E were adjusted to match changes to DoD
Guidelines.
q. Development has commenced on a Personnel Incident SITREP reporting database,

similar to the COVID-19 reporting database. Implementation and use of the database will be
announced with a NAVADMIN
2. Cancellation. OPNAVINST F3100.6J.
3. Scope and Applicability. Applies to all Navy commands, afloat and ashore, including
recruiting and training commands, FMF units under U.S. Navy cognizance, MSC shore
commands, U.S. Navy ships (less foreign manned ships) and bare boat chartered ships that have
been designated public vessels of the United States. This includes Selected Reservists even
when in a non-drilling status.
4. Discussion. This instruction was developed in compliance with references (a) and (b). It is
the only OPREP-3 PINNACLE, OPREP-3 NAVY BLUE, and OPREP-3 NAVY UNIT SITREP
guidance to be used by U.S. Navy commands. Supplemental instructions by subordinate
commands may amplify, but will not modify, the structure set forth in this instruction.
a. The OPREP-3 reporting system provides military units, at any level of command, a
system to report significant events and incidents to the highest levels of command.
b. The OPREP-3 PINNACLE series messages are used to report incidents that are of
national-level interest to the NMCC.
c. The OPREP-3 WHITE PINNACLE system is used to exercise and evaluate the
timeliness of OPREP-3 PINNACLE reporting procedures.
d. The OPREP-3 NAVY BLUE series messages are used to provide the CNO and other
naval commander’s notification of incidents that are of high Navy, as opposed to national-level,
interest.
e. The OPREP-3 NAVY UNIT SITREP series messages are used to inform the operational
commander or appropriate higher authority, of incidents not meeting OPREP-3 NAVY BLUE
criteria.

CHAPTER 1 - SPECIAL INCIDENT REPORTING SYSTEM
Section I – DESCRIPTION
1. Purpose. Incidents of national-level interest are to be reported to the NMCC using the
OPREP-3 PINNACLE message system. If in doubt about whether a situation is of national
interest, the originator should send an OPREP-3 PINNACLE series report. Incidents of high-
level U.S. Navy interest are to be reported to the MOC and the NOC using the OPREP-3 NAVY
BLUE reporting system. The OPREP-3 NAVY UNIT SITREP reporting system is used to
report significant events or incidents that do not meet the OPREP-3 PINNACLE or OPREP-3
NAVY BLUE reporting criteria or to augment these reports. See figure 1-1.
Figure 1-1 Special Incident Decision Tree
2. Applicability. See paragraph 4 of the cover letter to this instruction. OPREP-3 reports must
be submitted by the lowest level command that has knowledge of the event, except for those
incidents where provision for rapid notification by a higher command has been established by
separate directive. For reports involving nuclear weapons or nuclear weapons systems, the
commander of the organization having physical possession of the weapon or delivery system has
the final responsibility for ensuring that the initial report is made.
3. System Description.
CUI

CUI
OPNAVINST 3100.6K
10 Aug 2021
a. An initial voice report is normally the first indication to senior authority that an incident
has occurred.
b. The basis for the OPREP-3 reporting system is a set of jointly formatted reports used to
transmit notification of special incidents to higher authority.
c. The Joint Reporting Structure is designed to allow for consistent transmission of reports
by voice, electronic or electrical record communications.
d. The USMTF PROFORMA message is designed to allow for the Joint, Coalition and
Allied standardization of message reporting as outlined:
(1) Reference (b) provides templates and samples for the OPREP-3 reporting system's
voice and record message reports.
(2) This instruction is based on reference (b). Use the most current USMTF user formats
release, per reference (b), when generating voice or record message reports.

Section II - POLICY
1. The OPREP-3 reporting system will be the first system used by the reporting command for
official reporting of an incident. It will also be the primary form of reporting from the initial
report until the final OPREP-3 report is filed for the incident. In addition, significant programs
and events may require reporting through other means to inform appropriate entities to a
situation and are governed by their own instructions and requirements. CRITIC reports per
reference (c) and MISHAP reports per reference (d), constitute exceptions to this policy and
require additional reports in addition to the OPREP-3 report. CRITIC and MISHAP reports are
further addressed in section III of this chapter.
2. The OPREP-3 PINNACLE report is used by any unit to provide the NMCC and, as
appropriate, combatant commands and Services, with immediate notification of any incident or
event where national-level interest is indicated. Specific incidents are identified by a secondary
flagword, such as NUCFLASH. Figure 1-2 provides general guidance. Incidents that require
national-level notification which are not identified by a secondary flagword must be reported
using the generic OPREP-3 PINNACLE report.
3. Where doubt exists as to whether an incident is of national or Navy interest, use the
appropriate OPREP-3 PINNACLE series report.
4. The OPREP-3 NAVY BLUE report is used by Navy units to provide CNO and other naval
commanders with immediate notification of incidents of military, political or media interest that
are high Navy, vice national-level interest. Specific incidents are identified by a secondary
flagword, such as OPREP-3 NAVY BLUE FADED GIANT. Figure 1-3 provides general
guidance. Incidents that require U.S. Navy notification and which are not identified by a
secondary flagword, must be reported using the generic OPREP-3 NAVY BLUE report.

Section III – RELATED REPORTS
1. CRITIC Reports. OPREP-3 reports do not replace the procedures for reporting CRITIC
reports as defined in references (c) and (e).
2. Other Joint Reports. Addressed in reference (a), typically used by unified or combatant
commanders and summarized in chapter 3, section IX, include OPREP-3 PINNACLE
COMMAND ASSESSMENT, OPREP-3 PINNACLE LERTCON STATUS OF ACTIONS,
NUDETSUM reporting and OPREP-3 CRESCENT EDGE.
3. Loss or Compromise of Classified Information, Material or Equipment.
a. These incidents, including incidents involving laptop computers, must be reported per
chapter 4, section I and reference (f).
b. If the loss or compromise of classified information results in the loss of or significant

degradation to, operational capability, then senior naval leadership needs to be informed via an
OPREP-3 NAVY BLUE in addition to reports required by reference (f). Chapter 4 provides
additional guidance.
4. Routine Computer Intrusion Incidents.
a. Report per chapter 4, section I and reference (g).
b. All computer intrusion incidents are required to be reported to the Navy Cyber Defense
Operation Command (NCDOC) per reference (g), SECNAVINST 5239.19 and NCDOC
reporting requirements. If the intrusion incident results in a loss or significant degradation to
operational capability, then senior naval leadership should be informed via an OPREP-3 NAVY
BLUE in addition to NCDOC notification requirements. Chapter 4 provides additional guidance.
5. Personnel Incident Reporting. These requirements have been closely coordinated with CNO
(N1) and references (h) through (p). Appendix B provides a generic reporting format for
OPREP-3 NAVY BLUE or OPREP-3 NAVY UNIT SITREP personnel incident reports. If a
personnel incident meets the reporting criteria of an OPREP-3 NAVY BLUE or OPREP-3
NAVY UNIT SITREP, then the appendix B format will be used and no other messages are
required.
6. MISHAP Reports. A MISHAP report is often required in addition to an OPREP-3 report.

Requirements for mishap investigation and reporting are contained in references (d) and (q).

CHAPTER 2 - GENERAL RULES FOR OPREP-3 REPORTING
Section I – GENERAL GUIDANCE
1. Timeliness. The reporting standard for OPREP-3 PINNACLE, OPREP-3 NAVY BLUE and
OPREP-3 NAVY UNIT SITREP messages is:
a. Voice Report: within 5 minutes for PINNACLE NUCFLASH and EMPTY QUIVER and
15 minutes of the event for all PINNACLE, NAVY BLUE and FP related NAVY UNIT SITREP
reports. (See subparagraph 3a, chapter 5, section I, for further guidance.)
b. Voice reports for Class A mishaps may require a phone call to the NAVSAFECEN
Mishap Line within 60 minutes. References (d) and (q) contain specific requirements.
c. Record Message Report: within 60 minutes.
d. Exercise WHITE PINNACLE: within 20 minutes. Requires a voice or record message

response as directed in the WHITE PINNACLE exercise.
2. Initial Reports.
a. Initial reports are not required to be complete reports; the emphasis of the report is on
immediacy rather than content.
b. These reports should address as many of the known line items as possible, but do not
delay the report for lack of information.
c. Where real-time secure chat capability exists between a unit and the MOC, a
simultaneous chat report should be made with the initial voice report.
d. Jointly approved formats and templates for voice and record message reports are
provided in reference (b). In general, reports should address:
(1) What happened?
(2) Who is or was involved?
(3) Where did it happen?
(4) When did it happen?
(5) Why did it happen?
CUI
2-1
CUI
OPNAVINST 3100.6K

(6) What action is ongoing?
(7) What future action is contemplated?
(8) What is the impact on the command's mission capability?
(9) Is any assistance required?
(10) Is media attention anticipated?
(11) Have additional required reports made through appropriate systems been made?
3. Delayed Reports. Explain any delay in voice or record message reporting in the RMKS data
set of the record message.
4. Precedence. DMS has standardized message addresses and grade of delivery across the
Services. Table 2-1 provides a reference between the former message precedence and DMS’
grade of delivery.
Precedence DMS Grade of Delivery (X.400) Speed of Service

OPNAVINST 3100.6K
10 Aug 2021
6. Classification. All OPREP-3 reports will be classified as identified in subparagraphs 6a

through 6c:
a. Overall Classification Level. Messages must be marked in a manner similar to

documents as required by reference (f). Reporting commands are responsible for ensuring that
the overall classification marking on the message is the same as the highest classification level of
the message content. Use the DECL set to provide downgrading or any DECL instructions.
(1) The reporting command is responsible for assigning the proper security classification
to each report, including downgrading or DECL instructions, according to the guidance in
reference (f) and as reflected in the DECL set.
(2) When combat or combat-related operational requirements make speed of delivery

paramount, reporting commands may modify transmission of classified information as necessary
to meet local conditions. Even under those conditions, the provisions of reference (f) must be
followed as closely as possible. If modified, cite this subparagraph as the authority.
b. Portion Markings. Add portion markings as required by reference (f). There is an

exception to portion marking for pre-formatted messages that do not lend themselves to portion
markings. However, when messages are merely free text, this exception would not apply. For
example, GENTEXT, AMPN, NARR and RMKS sets contain free text that permits portion
marking.
c. RD or FRD. OPREP-3 reports containing RD or FRD, as defined in reference (f), must

be identified in the classification line
(e.g., “CONFIDENTIAL FORMERLY RESTRICTED DATA”).

Section II – VOICE MESSAGE REPORTS
1. Voice reports must be made to the appropriate MOC, the NOC or the NMCC to meet the
requirements for making a voice message report. Contact information is provided in table 2-2.
Ships at sea should report via the most rapid means available, including the appropriate
SATHICOM.
2. OPREP-3 PINNACLE series voice reports must be made directly to the NMCC, then to the
appropriate MOC who will notify the NOC accordingly. NMCC will then coordinate the
appropriate voice report to USSTRATCOM, as required.
3. OPREP-3 NAVY BLUE series voice reports must be made to the appropriate MOC who will
then notify the NOC. The NOC will notify NMCC who will then coordinate the appropriate
voice report to USSTRATCOM, as required.
4. Forces not assigned to a fleet commander should make OPREP-3 NAVY BLUE series
reports to the NOC, who will then forward to NMCC and other appropriate commands.
5. USSTRATCOM requires a voice report by the U.S. Navy for appropriate OPREP-3
PINNACLE series, OPREP-3 NAVY BLUE BENT SPEAR and OPREP-3 NAVY BLUE DULL
SWORD reports.
6. Forces unable to reach the designated MOC or the NOC should make reports directly to the
NMCC and request the NMCC relay to the NOC and the NOC will relay to the designated MOC.
7. The voice message report may be abbreviated if operational security considerations make this
absolutely necessary; however, the reporting command must carefully weigh the security
considerations against the senior commands' need for timely information for each incident.
Refer to paragraph 6 of chapter 2, section I, for additional information.

Section III – RECORD MESSAGE REPORTS
1. Initial Report. The initial record message report of the event must reference the initial voice
message report and must be marked “INIT.”
2. OPREP-3 NAVY BLUE and OPREP-3 NAVY UNIT SITREP Reports. Once a voice report
is made to the MOC, an INIT or FOLUP record message report is required. The only exception
is if and only if, within 30 minutes of the initial voice report of the incident, it is determined that
a reportable event did not occur and only when no NOC, NMCC or combatant commander
notifications were made by the MOC. The unit concerned must contact the MOC and provide
the appropriate information. If the MOC agrees that these parameters are met, the event may be
closed out without a hardcopy message report.
3. References on the Message Report. FOLUP record message reports must reference the DTG
of previously sent voice or record message reports.
4. Follow-up Reports. The follow-up report includes only the sections of the report that require
additional information. The code word FOLUP must be placed in the third field of the
TIMELOC set and the initial voice or record report DTG must be referenced. Precedence for
FOLUP reports is addressed in paragraph 4 of chapter 2, section I.
5. Data Sets. Initial and FOLUP record message reports should address as many of the required
data sets as possible, but reports should not be delayed to gather additional information.
6. Corrections to Reports. The originator must submit a new corrected message if an error is
noticed after submitting a report. Identify a corrected report by placing "CORR" in the third
field of the TIMELOC set.
7. Additional Information. Additional information to be considered for the GENTEXT or

RMKS set follows:
a. CO’s Assessment. Include in the RMKS data set, the CO's estimate of the situation, the
impact of the incident on the mission capability of the reporting unit, the ability of the unit to
operate safely and if any assistance is required.
b. Serious Injury or Death of U.S. Military Personnel. Care must be taken to avoid
reporting sensitive personal information that might cause unwarranted invasion of personal
privacy of individuals.
(1) Generic identification such as “Petty Officer 1st Class” or “20 YR OLD FEMALE E-
3” will suffice. Do not use Social Security Numbers.
CUI
2-7
CUI
OPNAVINST 3100.6K
10 Aug 2021
(2) If detailed personal identity information is required, it should be provided separately

in other than general messages, such as amplifying voice reports or limited distribution
messages, such as "Personal For" or secure e-mail.
(3) In the case of injury or death of a Service member, names must be withheld pending
notification of next of kin, unless positive identification is deemed absolutely necessary. In such
cases, the names can be listed provided this statement is included: "FOR OFFICIAL USE
ONLY. NEXT OF KIN HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED."
c. NCIS involvement and case number.
(1) Notify the nearest supporting NCIS element of all major criminal incidents meeting
the criteria contained in reference (r). Incidents requiring NCIS investigations include, but are
not limited to:
(a) Sexual assault or allegation of wrongful sexual acts or contact.
(b) Homicide or unattended death.
(c) Home invasion or allegations of burglary.
(d) Theft of a government-owned vehicle, weapons, explosives or significant

amounts of ammunition.
(e) Narcotics-related incidents, including paraphernalia and positive urinalysis tests.
(f) Counter-intelligence matters including potential espionage or suspicious activities

indicating involvement of a foreign government or mishandling or compromise of classified
information.
(g) Counter-terrorism matters and activities as delineated in chapter 4.
(h) All nuclear weapons accidents or incidents (BROKEN ARROW, EMPTY

QUIVER and BENT SPEAR).
(2) Notification statements must identify the NCIS element notified, i.e., “NORFOLK
FIELD OFFICE DUTY AGENT,” or “COMMAND SPECIAL AGENT AFLOAT.”
(3) NCIS participation statements must articulate the general action the local NCIS
element will take, such as “[NCIS ELEMENT]” INVESTIGATING MATTER” or “[NCIS
ELEMENT] DEFERS TO COMMAND INVESTIGATION.”
CUI
2-8
CUI
OPNAVINST 3100.6K
10 Aug 2021
(4) Reporting delays in cooperation with NCIS investigations. NCIS may request a
command to delay a report to avoid alerting a potential crime suspect. The CO may consider
delaying the report under these circumstances but should explain the reason for the delay once
reported.
d. Media Interest. Provide an assessment of whether the incident will likely result in media
interest or coverage. Consult a PAO or collateral duty PAO, if available, prior to making the
assessment of whether any incident is likely to generate significant public interest and provide
information on any proposed news release. Do not delay reporting to consult with a PAO if one
is not readily available. For all message reports, include one of these statements:
(1) “(NATIONAL or LOCAL) MEDIA INTEREST OBSERVED.” Provide AMPN of

which news outlet has started reporting if readily available. Of note, observed media interest
elevates reporting to NAVY BLUE.
(2) “MEDIA INTEREST ANTICIPATED.”
(3) “MEDIA INTEREST NOT ANTICIPATED.”
e. FOLUP Message Report Statement. A statement indicating if a FOLUP message report

is expected.
(1) The initial message will sometimes be the final message. Additional messages may
be required for amplifying information of the same significance.
(2) Amplifying information of lesser significance may be reported in OPREP-3 NAVY

BLUEs, OPREP-3 NAVY UNIT SITREPs or other reports applicable to the incident.
8. Final Record Message Report. Prior to submitting the “last report this incident,” units should
check with their operational chain of command to ensure there are no other requests for
information by higher authority. Review the MISHAP reporting guidance per references (d) and
(q) to determine if the incident meets MISHAP reporting requirements. Only the final record
message report must include a mandatory RMKS set, which must include one of these
statements, as appropriate:
a. “MISHAP REPORT NOT REQUIRED,” or
b. “MISHAP REPORT TO FOLLOW,” or
c. “MISHAP REPORT SUBMITTED.”
9. Serialization.
CUI
2-9
CUI
OPNAVINST 3100.6K
10 Aug 2021
a. Serialize all OPREP-3 report record messages using the message serial number field
(field 3) of the MSGID set.
b. Voice reports of an incident are not serialized.
c. All OPREP-3 report record messages, regardless of flagword, must be serialized in

sequence by incident, beginning with 001, which is assigned to the first incident of each calendar
year. OPREP-3 reports use the same series of SEQ serial numbers vice using one set of serial
numbers for OPREP-3 PINNACLE reports and a separate set for OPREP-3 NAVY BLUE or
OPREP-3 NAVY UNIT SITREP reports.
d. Additional record message reports concerning the same incident must be assigned
sequential letter suffixes, i.e., 001A, 001B, 001C, etc. For example, the first record message
report of a new incident must be serialized 002, with subsequent record message reports
concerning this incident assigned successive suffixes, i.e., 002A, 002B, 002C.
e. At the end of the calendar year, if an incident requires amplifying reports, it must
continue with the serialization suffixes (010A, 010B, etc.) until the final report of the incident.
f. If an initial report is subsequently upgraded to an OPREP-3 PINNACLE or OPREP-3

NAVY BLUE or downgraded to an OPREP-3 NAVY BLUE or OPREP-3 NAVY UNIT
SITREP, the numbering sequence remains the same since the report number indicates a single
the particular incident.
10. Record Message Addresses.
a. Units reporting under this instruction must report using their administrative title, e.g.,
“USS SHIP” vice “CTE XX.X.X.X,” in the "FROM" line of the message.
b. Action and information addresses should utilize those listed in the Plain Language
Address Directory. DMS users should utilize appropriate distinguished name equivalents from
the DMS Directory.
c. All record message reports must be addressed per the guidance provided in chapters 3, 4
and 5. Fleet assets must include their respective fleet ISIC as an INFO addressee on reports,
even when chopped to another fleet’s operation control.
d. Responsibility for ensuring that all affected commands are informed of an incident rests
with both the report originator and recipients.
e. Recipients should review each report to determine whether additional addresses are
required.

CHAPTER 3 – OPREP-3 PINNACLE REPORTS
Section I – OPREP-3 PINNACLE
1. Specific Reporting Instructions. The OPREP-3 PINNACLE must be used by any unit to
provide the NMCC and, as appropriate, services and combatant commands with immediate
notification of any incident or event where national-level interest is indicated, but is not
specifically covered by other OPREP-3 reports. It is not restricted to reporting only operational
information. OPREP-3 PINNACLE and their associated FLAGWORD reports have specific
reporting requirements which are described in paragraph 2 of this section. The event or incident
reported will fall within one of these categories:
a. An instance of such impact that it requires the immediate attention of the SECDEF and
CJCS. Included are those instances that have actual or potential international repercussions, such
as creation of tension or undesirable relations between the United States and other countries.
b. An instance having national-level interest that has changed or may significantly change,
current operations, involves natural or human-made disasters or civil disorders.
c. When directed by current DoD and Joint Chiefs of Staff EXORD, with specific attention
to EXORDs directing worldwide operations against terrorists.
d. A hostile incident that could attract national-level interest should be reported as an

OPREP-3 PINNACLE FRONT BURNER.
e. Any other incident when it is conceivable that the highest level of government will
require timely notification. These are provided as guidance and are not exhaustive in nature:
(1) Major military, missile or ordnance incidents (when nuclear warheads are not
present).
(2) Incidents involving reconnaissance activities.
(3) Hijacking and related incidents.
(4) Asylum incidents.
(5) Receipt of critical intelligence.
(6) U.S. SAR operations in foreign countries or foreign territorial waters.
(7) Confirmed or suspected electronic attack, sabotage and electromagnetic pulse events
at tactical warning sensor sites, specified communication nodes and command center locations.

(8) Law of war reportable incidents. All reportable incidents must be promptly reported
via the operational chain of command and via service channels to the CNO. Per references (s),
(t) and (u), a reportable incident is a possible, suspected or alleged violation of the Law of War
for which there is credible information or conduct during military operations other-than-war that
would constitute a violation of the law of war if it occurred during an armed conflict. Reportable
incidents that could constitute grave breaches of the Geneva Convention per enclosure (1) of
reference (s) must be reported via OPREP-3 PINNACLE. To report a reportable incident that
does not apparently constitute a grave breach, use an OPREP-3 NAVY BLUE.
(9) Any incident (except against forces previously declared hostile by higher authority) in
which live ordnance is fired with the intent to destroy or disable, in response to a violation or
suspected attempt to violate a U.S. Navy perimeter or maritime warning zone, including events
in foreign ports. Regardless of intent, if personnel are injured or killed in the engagement,
OPREP-3 PINNACLE notification is required.
(10) Use of force against suspected pirates at sea.
(11) Territorial violations by U.S. forces, actual or presumed, except in confined water
or air spaces, such as the Arabian Gulf, even if the violation was unintentional, of a short
duration and there was no reaction from the affected nation.
(12) Defection of U.S. or foreign personnel.
(13) Loss of or substantial damage to, civilian property caused by military equipment,
such as aircraft or ships, when national-level interest is indicated.
(14) Loss of or substantial damage to, major military equipment, such as aircraft or
ships, when national-level interest is indicated.
(15) Significant and unorthodox changes in the composition or structure of foreign

governments.
(16) Any incidents indicating the use of chemical or biological agents.
(17) Any incident requiring the actual execution of an organization’s COOP plan.
Voice and written report should indicate the incident causing plan execution. OPREP-3 NAVY
BLUE reporting requirements should be used for follow-on reporting.
(18) A systemic loss of NC3 outages in the form of FSBS strategic communications
lasting greater than 15 minutes. Specifically, an OPREP-3 PINNACLE is required for a
complete loss of the ability to deliver EAM via the FSBS transmitters supporting either LANT or
PAC AOR or both that has no identifiable resolution or has not been resolved in 15 minutes.
The intent of this reporting requirement is for land-based strategic communication nodes to
CUI

report system outages; reports from individual units are not required. NAVY BLUE messages
are required for lesser outages.
(19) For National Strategic Sites – In the event, at a covered asset, an Unmanned
System demonstrates a hostile act or hostile intent during an incursion specifically over the
limited area, waterfront restricted area or convoy route at a covered site.
f. If doubt exists as to whether an event or incident is developing or could possibly develop,

into a matter of White House, DoD, Joint Service or national media interest, submit an OPREP-3
PINNACLE report. Any instance reported as an OPREP-3 should be considered for submission
as an OPREP-3 PINNACLE report unless a positive determination can be made to the contrary.
2. Report Content.
a. The OPREP-3 PINNACLE is a USMTF report. Instructions on USMTF voice and record
message format and additional examples are contained in reference (b).
b. For peacetime reconnaissance reports, provide the nickname, mission number and track
number of the peacetime reconnaissance assignment being reported.
4. Voice Message Reports.
a. Initial voice reports must be made within the timeframe specified in chapter 2, section I
directly to the NMCC.
b. The voice formats contain only the most important information and may not resemble the
entire record version. For brevity, send only needed information and do not wait to make a voice
report in order to pass all information. Each line in the main body of the message contains a line
number that enables the message to be transmitted faster. Line numbers may be skipped if
information is not available. Templates for all voice message reports are contained in reference
(b).

Section VIII – OPREP-3 WHITE PINNACLE
1. Specific Reporting Instructions. The OPREP-3 WHITE PINNACLE is an unclassified

exercise flagword used in exercise messages that contain simulated, CRITIC from operating
forces to the NMCC. This exercise is used to measure the timeliness of the OPREP-3
PINNACLE report.
a. Upon receipt of a WHITE PINNACLE tasking, units must submit a WHITE PINNACLE
acknowledgement report to the NMCC EA cell by either voice or record copy, whichever is
fastest.
b. The time standard for WHITE PINNACLE exercises is 20 minutes, measured from the
communications origination time, i.e. , when the unit operations center or command center or
duty officer receives the WHITE PINNACLE tasking, to time of receipt by the NMCC.
c. Direct voice contact between the tasked units and the NMCC is the goal when voice
circuits are used using the NMCC phone numbers listed in the phone matrix in table 2-2.
d. No record copy message traffic is required when the WHITE PINNACLE exercise is
successfully completed using voice contact.
e. When a WHITE PINNACLE acknowledgement report is received by multiple methods,

the exercise will be considered successful as long as at least one acknowledgement meets the 20-
minute time criteria.
f. NMCC-EA will investigate all unsatisfactory exercise WHITE PINNACLEs and provide
a copy of the results of their investigation to the Regional Operations Support Division,
Operations, Training and Evaluation Branch prior to the on-duty shift change.
g. NMCC-EA will notify the originating command center when the WHITE PINNACLE
exercise is completed.
2. Report Content. OPREP-3 WHITE PINNACLE report must include:
a. Unit tasked to exercise WHITE PINNACLE procedures.
b. Location (if not classified). This information may assist in determining locations that
may preclude timely reporting.
c. Tasking combatant commander.
d. DTG of the tasking message or voice notification to unit.

e. Unit time of receipt.

(9) Fraud, waste, abuse, gross inefficiency or mismanagement that could involve high-
level Navy interest or national media inquiry.
(10) An event involving radioactive material or radiation exposure which is not

classified as a reactor accident under section III of chapter 4 of this instruction, but which
presents or is expected to present a hazard to public health and safety or is of such a nature as to
warrant immediate notification of cognizant higher commands. Included in this category are
those events having domestic or international implications and those that are likely to give rise to
inquiries by the public or press. Inadvertent discharges of reactor coolant from naval nuclear
propulsion plants do not warrant notification under this section, but should be reported under
reference (ad) or reference (ae).
(11) Law of war reportable incidents. All reportable incidents must be promptly
reported via the operational chain of command and via service channels to the CNO. Per
references (s), (t) and (u), a reportable incident is a possible, suspected or alleged violation of the
law of war for which there is credible information or conduct during military operations other
than war that would constitute a violation of the law of war if it occurred during an armed
conflict. Reportable incidents that could constitute grave breaches of the Geneva Convention per
enclosure (1) of reference (s) must be reported via OPREP-3 PINNACLE. To report a reportable
incident that does not apparently constitute a grave breach, use an OPREP-3 NAVY BLUE.
(12) Any incident requiring the actual execution of an organization’s COOP plan.
Voice and written reports should indicate the event causing plan execution. Follow-on reporting
should indicate the location and contact information of the command center, senior leadership
and the status of the organization.
(13) Incidents in an OCONUS environment: All incident reports involving the public
or host nationals should include as much information as possible, to include suspected drug and
alcohol abuse, host national or civilian police involvement and whether media interest is
anticipated. Incidents, especially those involving physical assault and sexual assault by Navy
members on civilians or host nationals, will typically garner significant media coverage and will
reflect negatively on the Navy. Commanders should consider OPREP-3 NAVY BLUE
REPORTS for these incidents of high media interest. The command PAO is required to notify
respective ISIC PAO via telcon (or e-mail if telcon is not possible) within one hour of learning of
the incident in order to coordinate a media response. All OCONUS incident reports should
consider the PLAD for the local American Embassy.
g. Any incident of high-level Navy interest which does not fall into the category of any
other report in the OPREP-3 PINNACLE or OPREP-3 NAVY BLUE series.
2. Report Content. The OPREP-3 NAVY BLUE report is a USMTF based report that is being

fission products from the reactor core.
c. Radiological accident. A loss of control of radioactive material, which presents a hazard

to life, health or property or which may result in a member of the general population exceeding
exposure limits for ionizing radiation. Radiological accidents involving naval nuclear reactors,
other naval nuclear energy devices or radioactive materials under the custody of the U.S. Navy
or an event involving radioactive material or radiation exposure that does not constitute a
radiological accident but is of such a nature as to warrant immediate notification of cognizant
higher commands, must be reported by OPREP-3 NAVY BLUE per chapter 4, section I.
d. For SSBNs, there is an expectation that the presence and any potential effect on nuclear
weapons be addressed in the voice and record message reports for clarity on the event and to
help set priorities of response.
2. Report Content.
a. Per reference (a), the flagword PINNACLE may be added at any level of command to
expedite forwarding of this message to NMCC J3.

CHAPTER 5 – OPREP-3 NAVY UNIT SITREP REPORTS
Section I – OPREP-3 NAVY UNIT SITREP
a. The OPREP-3 NAVY UNIT SITREP is used by any U.S. Navy CO, officer-in-charge or
other commander (as directed or appropriate) to provide the ISIC and appropriate Navy
operational commanders and higher authority with timely notification of any incident not
meeting OPREP-3 PINNACLE or OPREP-3 NAVY BLUE special incident reporting criteria.
b. The decision to submit an OPREP-3 NAVY UNIT SITREP vice an OPREP-3 NAVY
BLUE report for the list of personnel incident reporting criteria is driven by potential media
interest. For clarification of definitions for potentially reportable crimes refer to reference (h).
For general guidance see appendix B.
c. Major Incidents. Any incident such as fire, flooding, computer intrusion and loss or
compromise of classified information require an OPREP-3 NAVY BLUE if that incident is
considered to be "major." If it is not "major," then it is to be reported as an OPREP-3 NAVY
UNIT SITREP. For the purposes of this instruction, a major incident is defined as an incident
that results in loss or degradation in the ability of a command to perform its mission,
degradation, destruction or non-availability of a Task Critical Asset published by OPNAV N46,
or as determined by the CO. If in doubt, report as an OPREP-3 NAVY BLUE.
d. Hostile incidents that do not meet the criteria for an OPREP-3 PINNACLE FRONT
BURNER or OPREP-3 NAVY BLUE SENTINEL must be reported using an OPREP-3 NAVY
UNIT SITREP SENTINEL per appendix F.
e. The listed incidents warrant an OPREP-3 NAVY UNIT SITREP submitted to the ISIC:
(1) When considered appropriate by the reporting activity.
(2) When directed.
(3) To update incidents previously reported via OPREP-3 NAVY BLUE when the update
information does not meet OPREP-3 NAVY BLUE criteria.
(4) Operational incidents that do not attract media attention.
(a) Any firearm discharge that is unauthorized, accidental or negligent that does not
result in injury or death.

(b) Floods or fires resulting in minor damage or does not cause significant personnel
injury or loss of combat capability. This includes all unintentional fires occurring on any naval
installation, ship, submarine or aircraft (to include small fires in which no personnel were injured
and the material property damage was limited). Fires are states, processes or instances of
combustion in which fuel or other material is ignited and combined with oxygen, giving off
smoke, sparks or flame. Smoke or sparks may not be present. However, if smoke or sparks
exist, a fire should be assumed to exist (this is specifically relevant to Class “C” fires when the
smoke or spark cease after power is secured). Evidence of previously unreported combustion or
explosion should also be reported. Reports solely based on acrid odor (no evidence of
combustion upon inspection) are not required.
(c) Any incident (except against forces previously declared hostile by higher
authority) in which live ordnance warning shots, excluding pyrotechnics, are fired without the
intent to hit or disable, in response to a violation or suspected attempt to violate a U.S. Navy
perimeter or maritime warning zone, including events in foreign ports. Regardless of intent, if
personnel are injured or killed in the engagement or the vessel is disabled, OPREP-3
PINNACLE notification is required. If the vessel is hit but not disabled, an OPREP-3 NAVY
BLUE notification is required. Fleet commanders will determine if events are of sufficient
significance to issue an OPREP-3 NAVY BLUE based on similar previous events in that AOR.
(d) Minor liberty incidents in which a Service member is arrested or held for non-
serious offenses by local or foreign authorities.
(e) Minor liberty incidents in a foreign port that may result in payment of a foreign
claim.
(5) Personnel Incidents. See also appendix B for amplifying guidance and action and or
information addresses. If media interest is anticipated in any of the listed personnel incidents, it
should be reported via an OPREP-3 NAVY BLUE. If media interest is not anticipated, an
OPREP-3 NAVY UNIT SITREP will be used.
(a) Domestic violence or abuse. Any report of domestic violence or domestic abuse
must include the date and location of the Service member’s most recent operational,
expeditionary or IA deployment. Additionally, if the Service member’s last deployment was an
expeditionary or IA deployment after 19 March 2004, include whether he or she completed a
Post Deployment Health Reassessment between 90 and 180 days after their return.
(b) Child abuse and or neglect.

APPENDIX B - PERSONNEL INCIDENT REPORTS
1. Specific Reporting Instructions. The OPREP-3 NAVY BLUE and OPREP-3 NAVY UNIT
SITREP must be used to report any personnel incident that could attract high level Navy interest.
The decision to submit an OPREP-3 NAVY UNIT SITREP vice an OPREP-3 NAVY BLUE
report is driven by potential media interest. Reportable personnel incidents normally fall within
one of these categories:
a. OPREP-3 NAVY BLUE. Significant incidents to include any government civilian or

service member death, murder, suicide, sexual assault, armed robbery, aggravated assault, assault
with a deadly weapon, kidnapping, carjacking, child sexual abuse, supremacist activity, extremist
group activity and burglary of an occupied dwelling. Incidents involving death or serious injury
to personnel embarked on Navy or MSC ships and aircraft; or while on government property
both on and off duty require an OPREP-3 NAVY BLUE.
b. OPREP-3 NAVY UNIT SITREP. Lesser incidents to include domestic violence,

domestic abuse, child abuse and or neglect, discrimination, harassment, sexual harassment,
hazing, bullying, fraternization, DUI, motorcycle mishaps, suicide-related behavior and
workplace violence.
(1) Automated Reporting. The development of an online SITREP database has

commenced that is planned to replace personnel incident SITREP reporting. The completion of
the database will be announced by NAVADMIN with further details.
c. Sexual assault incidents (with exception of child sexual abuse) require these additional
information elements:
(1) Incident description: Contact or Penetration or UKN (if UKN at time of initial report,
an update report must be submitted once known);
(2) NCIS case number assigned (if UKNat time of initial report, an update report must be
made with case number once known – typically the NCIS case number is assigned immediately –
usually no late than 96 hours);
(3) Continue reporting by exception through case disposition. A list of non-exhaustive

examples of reasons an update is required are: expedited transfer of the victim, removal of the
alleged offender from the command, clarification of alcohol involvement, civilian or military
protective order issued, normal transfer of either victim or alleged offender, learning that the
incident is linked to other allegations of sexual assault, closure of investigation, receipt of legal
recommendation or upon the final case disposition.
(4) It is natural to hand over reporting responsibility from command to command as the
preponderance of information and responsibility may shift. For example, most initial reporting
CUI
B-1 Appendix B
CUI
OPNAVINST 3100.6K
10 Aug 2021
requirements are associated with immediate victim care. After the first 30 days, primary
reporting requirements become associated with the alleged offender’s command. Shifting of
reporting is reasonable and expected, but requires close command to command coordination and
in compliance with the applicable instructions governing the subject matter of the report, i.e. the
sexual assault reporting requirements under reference (i).
d. Motorcycle mishap-related incidents and other mishaps, require a MISHAP report in

addition to an OPREP-3 report. Requirements for mishap investigations and reporting are
contained in reference (d). Ensure the OPREP-3 report includes whether the rider had attended
the appropriate motor cycle safety course.
e. Reports of suicides, suicide-related behavior, domestic violence and any incident

involving a firearm, whether the firearm was discharged or not discharged, must include the date
and location of the Service member’s last deployment and whether they are enrolled in the
Personnel Reliability Program. Annotate whether that deployment was operational,
expeditionary or an IA deployment.
f. Negligent discharge of a firearm must include the type of follow-on investigation to be

conducted.
g. EO, Unlawful Discrimination, Sexual Harassment, Hazing reporting follow-up

requirements. A follow up message reporting the investigation results and final disposition is
required within 20 days of the initial report and every 14 days thereafter, until the complaint is
resolved (indicating whether allegations were substantiated or unsubstantiated).
2. Report Content.
a. The OPREP-3 NAVY BLUE and OPREP-3 NAVY UNIT SITREP are USMTF based
reports that are being incorporated into reference (b). They are based on the OPREP-3 message.
The message examples are edited accordingly.
b. For all personnel incidents, report the specific information in the GENTEXT-INCIDENT
IDENTIFICATION AND DETAILS section of the report (these reporting elements are
automated in pull down menus in the SITREP data tool):
(1) Incident (incidents listed in subparagraphs 1a through 1e).
(2) Date of incident.
(3) Time of incident. Local time; specify the time zone.
(4) Location of incident (e.g. underway; onboard in port; in port overseas; residence;
barracks; Public Private Venture housing; on base; Temporary Duty; etc.)
CUI

(5) Suspect or alleged offender information: military (identify by pay grade: E-4, PO1,
O-1), civil service (identify by pay grade: GS-5), civilian, foreign national, UNK; if applicable,
include relationship to victim (spouse, child, etc.).
(6) Command and UIC.
(7) Sex.
(8) Age.
(9) Race (American Indian or Alaskan Native; Asian; Black or African American; Native
Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander; Hispanic; White; multiple, UKN, decline to respond.).
(10) Weapon (firearm, knife, bottle, etc.). For firearm, list specific model and
manufacturer of the firearm.
(11) Firearm specifications. For a negligent, inadvertent or justified discharge of a

government-owned firearm, which does not result in injury or death to personnel, the report must
include the type of investigation being conducted.
(12) Alcohol and or drug (blood alcohol content, type and amount, if known).
(13) Victim or complainant information. Military (identify by pay grade: E-4, PO1,
O-1), civil service (identify by pay grade: GS-11), civilian, foreign national, UNK; if applicable,
include relationship to victim (spouse, child, etc.), Command and UIC.
(14) Victim or complainant information: Sex.
(15) Victim or complainant information: Age.
(16) Victim or complainant information:
(a) Race (American Indian or Alaskan Native; Asian; Black or African American;
Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander; Hispanic; White; etc.).
(b) Relationship of offender to complainants (military coworker, chain of command,

military subordinate, military higher rank and grade not in chain of command, other military
person, person in local community, civilian, contractor, anonymous).
(17) NCIS notified and involvement. Identify the NCIS element notified, i.e.,
“NORFOLK FIELD DUTY OFFICE,” “NCISRA DUBAI,” or “COMMAND SPECIAL
AGENT AFLOAT,” if applicable. Additionally, articulate the general action the local NCIS
element will take, i.e., “[NCIS ELEMENT] INVESTIGATING MATTER” or “[NCIS
CUI
B-3 Appendix B
CUI
OPNAVINST 3100.6K
10 Aug 2021
ELEMENT] DEFERS TO COMMAND INVESTIGATORS.” Include NCIS case number. If not

immediately available in time to support the initial personnel incident report, provide in a report
update as soon as feasible.
(18) Installation family advocacy representative notified (yes, no, not applicable).
(19) Summary or brief description of incident. For all OPREP-3 reports of suicides,
suicide-related behavior, domestic violence and any incident involving a firearm, whether the
firearm was discharged or not discharged, include the date and location of the Service member’s
most recent operational, expeditionary or IA deployment.
(20) Media interest (anticipated or not anticipated; if local or national media interest
observed, submit NAVY BLUE).
(21) POC (name, phone number and e-mail).
c. For initial sexual assault incident reporting, use subparagraph 2b, with specific attention
to subparagraphs (1) through (18).
(1) The GENTEXT-INCIDENT IDENTIFICATION AND DETAILS section of follow

up and final OPREP-3 NAVY BLUE or OPREP-3 NAVY UNIT SITREP must include
additional information:
(a) The name, command and contact information of the JAG consulted. (required)
(b) The disposition resolution category as provided by the NAVPERS 1752/1.
(c) Status of MPOs (e.g., duration, issuance, termination, violation, etc.).
(d) Status of transfer or reassignment (permanent and or temporary) of victim and or

alleged offender.
(e) Status of victim's collateral misconduct investigation and or disposition.
(f) Information pertinent to ongoing incident response.
(2) Due to the nature of sexual assault crimes, care should be given to limit the narrative
information to specific requirements and not include details that do not add to the report and
could result in re-victimization. A balance needs to be struck between information sharing and
potential re-victimization. If the CO deems that the SITREP could further victimize the victim
or identify the victim or alleged offender, consider having the ISIC release the SITREP on behalf
of the command.

d. Avoid reporting sensitive personal information or identifying demographic information

that could lead to the identity of the individual (typically at smaller commands). Privacy of the
individual is to be respected at all times. If detailed personal identity information is required, it
should be provided separately in other than general messages, such as amplifying voice reports
or limited distribution messages, such as "Personal For" or secure e-mail.
e. For DUI, DWI and ALCOHOL INCIDENTS SITREPs include BAC level in reports, if
available. FOLUP reports should also provide adjudication or civilian court results for DUI or
DWI incidents. Note: The specific BAC criteria for a DUI or DWI is determined by the local
jurisdiction and should be reported as a DUI even if the BAC is below typical CONUS criteria.
Outlined in reference (af) OPNAV 5350/7, a DAR is required for reporting all alcohol incidents
to OPNAV/N170A ADMITS.
f. SUBSTANCE ABUSE OPREP-3 REPORTING REQUIREMENTS. Although SITREPs

are not required for positive urinalysis results from the Navy's standard urinalysis program, due
to the new threat posed by less traditional substances, CO are encouraged to report the wrongful
use, possession, manufacture or distribution of controlled substances or non-traditional
substances such as natural substances (e.g., salvia divinorum, psychoactive mushrooms),
chemicals abused by inhaling or huffing (e.g., Dust-Off, glue, paint thinner, gasoline or
prescribed or over-the-counter drugs or pharmaceutical compounds) with the intent to induce
intoxication, excitement or stupefaction of the central nervous system. These reports alert
leadership and stakeholders to new trends and problems associated with drug usage. Per
reference (af), OPNAV 5350/7 DAR is required for reporting drug incidents to OPNAV N170A
ADMITS.
3. Voice Reports for OPREP-3 NAVY BLUE and OPREP-3 NAVY UNIT SITREPs
a. OPREP-3 NAVY BLUE incidents require voice report to the appropriate MOC within
the timeframe specified.
b. OPREP-3 NAVY UNIT SITREP incidents require voice report to the command's ISIC, if
required.
d. Voice message formats are the same for the OPREP-3 NAVY BLUE or the OPREP-3

either physically or psychologically, without a proper military or other governmental purpose.
(1) Bullying may involve the singling out of an individual from their co-workers or unit,
for ridicule because he or she is considered different or weak. It often involves an imbalance of
power between the aggressor and the victim.
(2) Bullying includes, but is not limited to, these aspects when performed without a
proper military or other governmental purpose: physically striking another in any manner or
threatening to do the same; intimidating; teasing; taunting; oral or written berating of another for

b. Child Abuse: The physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse or neglect of a child by
a parent, guardian, foster parent or by a caregiver, whether the caregiver is intra-familial or extra-
familial, under circumstances indicating the child’s welfare is harmed or threatened. Such acts
by a sibling, other family member or other family member must be deemed to be child abuse
only when the individual is providing care under express or implied agreement with the parent,
guardian or foster parent, as defined in reference (j). The term encompasses both acts and
omissions on the part of such a responsible person. This term includes alleged offenders whose
relationship is outside the family and includes, but is not limited to, individuals known to the

coercion of any child to engage in or assist any other person to engage in, any sexually explicit
conduct or simulation of such conduct for the purpose of producing a visual depiction of such
conduct; or the rape and in cases of caretaker or inter-familial relationships, statutory rape,
molestation, prostitution or other form of sexual exploitation of children or incest with children.
d. Domestic Abuse: Domestic violence or a pattern of behavior resulting in emotional or

psychological abuse, economic control or interference with personal liberty that is directed

use, attempted use or threatened use of physical force against a person and is committed by a
current or former spouse, parent or guardian of the victim; by a person with whom the victim
shares a child in common; by a person who is cohabitating with or has cohabitated with the
victim as a spouse, parent or guardian; or by a person who similarly situated to a spouse, parent
or guardian of the victim.
f. EO: The right of all persons to participate in and benefit from programs and activities for
which they are qualified, as defined in reference (k). These programs and activities will be free
from social, personal or institutional barriers that prevent people from rising to the highest level
of responsibility possible. Persons will be evaluated on individual merit, fitness and capability;
regardless of race, ethnicity, national origin, sex (including gender identity), sexual orientation or
religion.
g. Extremist Group: Per reference (l), an organization that espouses supremacist causes;
attempts to create illegal discrimination based on race, creed, color, ethnicity, national origin,
sex, sexual orientation or religion; advocates using force or violence; or otherwise engages in
efforts to deprive individuals of their civil rights.
h. Fraternization: Per reference (ah) is a gender-neutral concept used to identify personal

relationships that do not respect the bounds of acceptable senior-subordinate relationships.
Although it has most commonly been applied to officer-enlisted relationships, fraternization also
includes improper relationships and social interaction between officer members as well as
between enlisted members, regardless of the Service affiliation of the other officer or enlisted
member, including members of foreign military services.
i. Harassment: A form of discrimination that is unwelcomed conduct based on race, color,

religion, sex (including gender identity), national origin or sexual orientation. Harassment
occurs when the conduct is severe or pervasive enough to create a work environment that a
reasonable person would consider intimidating, hostile or abusive.
j. Hazing per reference (ag) is any conduct through which a military member or members
or a DoD civilian employee or employees, without a proper military or other governmental
purpose but with a nexus to military service or DoD civilian employment, physically or

proper military or other governmental purpose: any form of initiation or congratulatory act that
involves physically striking another in any manner or threatening to do the same; pressing any
object into another person’s skin, regardless of whether it pierces the skin, such as “pinning” or
CUI
B-15 Appendix B
CUI
OPNAVINST 3100.6K
10 Aug 2021
“tacking on” of rank insignia, aviator wings, jump wings, diver insignia, badges, medals or any
other object; oral or written berating of another for the purpose of belittling or humiliating;
encouraging another to engage in illegal, harmful, demeaning or dangerous acts; playing abusive
or malicious tricks; branding, handcuffing, duct taping, tattooing, shaving, greasing or painting;
subjecting to excessive or abusive use of water; and the forced consumption of food, alcohol,
drugs or any other substance. Hazing can be conducted through the use of electronic devices or
communications and by other means, as well as in person.
k. Sexual Assault: Intentional sexual contact, characterized by use of force, threats,

intimidation, abuse of authority or when the victim does not or cannot consent. “Consent”
means words or overt acts indicating a freely given agreement to the sexual conduct at issue by a
competent person. An expression of lack of consent through words or conduct means there is no
consent. Lack of verbal or physical resistance or submission resulting from the accused’s use of
force, threat of force or placing another person in fear does not constitute consent. A current or
previous dating relationship by itself or the manner of dress of the person involved with the
accused in the sexual conduct at issue will not constitute consent. Sexual assault includes but is
not limited to rape, forcible sodomy (oral or anal sex) and other unwanted sexual contact that is
aggravated, abusive or wrongful (to include unwanted and inappropriate sexual contact) or
attempts to commit these acts. For definitions of these crimes and related offenses, see the
UCMJ in reference (h).
l. Sexual Harassment is conduct that:
(1) involves unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors and deliberate or
repeated offensive comments or gestures of a sexual nature when:
(a) submission to such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or

condition of a person’s job, pay or career;
(b) submission to or rejection of such conduct by a person is used as a basis for career
or employment decisions affecting that person; or
(c) such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an
individual’s work performance or creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive working
environment.
(2) Is so severe or pervasive that a reasonable person would perceive and the victim does
perceive, the environment as hostile or offensive.
(3) Any use or condonation, by any person in a supervisory or command position, of any
form of sexual behavior to control, influence or affect the career, pay or job of a member of the
armed forces or a civilian employee of the DoD.
CUI
B-16 Appendix B
CUI
OPNAVINST 3100.6K
10 Aug 2021
(4) Any deliberate or repeated unwelcome verbal comment or gesture of a sexual nature
by any member of the Military Services or civilian employee of the DoD; and
(5) While it is not possible to list all of those additional circumstances that may constitute
sexual harassment, reference (ai) provides some examples of conduct, which, if unwelcome,
constitutes sexual harassment and is unacceptable.
m. Suicide: A leading cause of death among Service members. All suicides and suicide-
related behavior must be reported as outlined in reference (p). Suicide-related behavior includes
both suicidal ideation and suicide attempt. These definitions qualify as suicide-related behavior:
(1) Suicidal Ideation- Thinking about, considering or planning for suicide.
(2) Suicide Attempt - A non-fatal self-directed potentially injurious behavior with any
intent to die as a result of the behavior, may or may not result in injury.
(3) Suicide (Death by Suicide) - Death caused by self-directed injurious behavior with
any intent to die as a result of the behavior.
(4) Whether behavior qualifies as suicide-related behavior is a determination to be made

by an appropriate competent authority.
n. Supremacist Activities: Per reference (y), no person in the naval service will actively
advocate supremacist or extremist doctrine, ideology or causes, including those that advance,
encourage or advocate illegal discrimination based on race, creed, color, sex, religion, ethnicity,
sexual orientation or national origin or that advance, encourage or advocate the use of force,
violence or criminal activity or otherwise advance efforts to deprive individuals of their civil
rights. Additionally, no person in the naval service will actively participate in criminal gangs or
in any other organization that: advocates supremacist or extremist doctrine, ideology or causes;
attempts to create illegal discrimination based on race, creed, color, sex, religion, ethnicity,
sexual orientation or national origin; advocates the use of force, violence or criminal activity; or
otherwise engages in efforts to deprive individuals of their civil rights. The term “actively
participate,” as used in reference (y), includes, but is not limited to, acts or conduct, performed
alone or in concert with another, such as: fundraising; demonstrating or rallying; recruiting,
training, organizing or leading members; distributing material, including posting on-line; or
otherwise engaging in any other activities in relation to such criminal gangs or organizations or
in furtherance of the objectives of such criminal gangs or organizations, when such conduct or
activity is detrimental to good order, discipline or mission accomplishment or is service
discrediting.
o. Unlawful Discrimination: The disparate treatment or harassment of an individual or

group based on a prohibited factor contrary to Federal law or regulation per reference (l).

APPENDIX D - MARINE MAMMAL INCIDENT REPORTS
1. Specific Reporting Instructions. The OPREP-3 NAVY BLUE must be used to report any
marine mammal incident.
a. This guidance applies to all Navy commands, including any Navy installation, ship or
aircraft under contract to or conducting research and development or test and evaluation
activities for the Navy. OPNAV (N45) is the clearinghouse for all Navy information related to
marine mammal strike or stranding occurrences worldwide. CNO N3/N5 will support OPNAV
N45 directly in coordinating these marine mammal incident reports.
b. In the event of a marine mammal strike or stranding, OPNAV (N45) is the sole POC for
liaison activities with the NOAA Fisheries Headquarters. Coordination with OPNAV (N45) is
required prior to or immediately after the fleet or regional commander has engaged regional
NOAA Fisheries offices with regard to a stranding or strike incident.
c. The CNO BWC in the NOC, Washington, DC, is responsible for collecting and
disseminating operational and ashore information to CNO leadership. The NOC must receive all
voice and message reports related to marine mammal incidents so that it can notify appropriate
OPNAV action officers and leadership. Marine mammal incidents by their very nature require
coordination of information across commands, both afloat and ashore. Fleet commanders have
the lead for information coordination and will support the NOC. Regional commanders will
support the fleet commanders by coordinating shore command marine mammal incident
information.
2. Report Content. The OPREP-3 NAVY BLUE is a USMTF based report that is incorporated
into reference (b). It is based on the OPREP-3 message and the message examples are edited
accordingly.
a. Initial Report. The initial voice must conform to the requirements of chapter 2, sections I
and II, of this instruction. The initial voice and record message report is intended to inform the
chain of command expeditiously of the existence of the marine mammal event within the
timeframe specified.
b. FOLUP reporting. Not all reportable marine mammal events require FOLUP reporting.
Based on the initial report and the attendant facts and circumstances surrounding the event,
OPNAV N45 will coordinate with the NOC to determine whether FOLUP reporting is required.
Factors such as proximity of naval forces, physical condition of the animal, congressional
interest, other agency interest, media interest and other pertinent information will be considered
in making the determination.
CUI
D-1 Appendix D
CUI
OPNAVINST 3100.6K
10 Aug 2021
(1) If required, FOLUP reports must be made via naval message to CNO N3/N5 and
OPNAV N45 and the NOC within 24 hours following the initial report. Negative reports are
required.

5. Guidance and Definitions.
a. Reportable Marine Mammal Events. Due to the nature, location and visibility of certain
events involving marine mammals, expeditious reporting is required.
(1) Whale strikes. Whale strikes continue to be reportable events per reference (aa).
(2) Strandings. The NOAA Fisheries definition of stranding includes not only those
animals found alive or dead on beaches, but also those floating dead in open water. Strandings
that occur on or near Navy Installations require reporting to the NOC.
CUI
D-6 Appendix D
CUI
OPNAVINST 3100.6K
10 Aug 2021
(3) Other. Claims of unusual marine mammal behavior reported in the media or by
National Marine Fisheries Service, a private party or non-governmental entity in which naval
operations, exercises or training have been implicated are reportable events. Any other incident
involving marine mammals, which have significant media interest and may implicate naval
operations at sea are also reportable events. Examples of such marine mammal events might
include manatee strandings or mass strandings (two or more) of dolphins, seals, sea lions, otters,
etc.
b. For purposes of this section, “naval operations at sea” means surface and subsurface
activities involving one or more units engaged in operations, exercises or training. It also
includes air operations that may have an effect on the marine environment.
c. NMMSRT. The NMMSRT is responsible for marine mammal incident management

including notification of their chain of command, incident analysis and incident response. For all
events resulting in FOLUP reporting, OPNAV N45 will coordinate efforts of the NMMSRT.
The NMMSRT will include CNO N3/N5 and OPNAV N45, CHINFO, Office of Legislative
Affairs-Navy and the cognizant fleet commander.
d. The CNO BWC will contact the appropriate fleet BWCs to obtain information on Navy
units that may have been in the vicinity (within 50 NM and 24 hours) of the incident. Submarine
or aircraft information may not be immediately available and will be provided as an update to the
NMMSRT as soon as the information is available. In addition, sonar use information for units so
equipped and identified as being in the vicinity of the event will be obtained and forwarded to
the NOC BWC as rapidly as possible. No interim commands will issue any press releases or
otherwise comment on stranding or strike incidents unless directed by the NMMSRT.

APPENDIX E - COMMAND AND CONTROL AND INFORMATION NETWORK OUTAGE

INCIDENT REPORTS
1. Specific Reporting Instructions. The OPREP-3 NAVY BLUE must be used to report any
command and control network or information network outage. For the purposes of this
instruction, information networks include, but are not limited to Non-secure Internet Protocol
Router Network (NIPRNET), SIPRNET, GCCS and JWICS. These reports are submitted to
provide “as it happens” information on these types of incidents:
a. Command and control and information networks critical to current operations or critical
to support current operations, in a theater of engagement that are down and alternative
communication is limited.
b. Any network outage in-theater that severely diminishes or renders a critical operational
capability inoperable.
c. Any network outage that severely diminishes the ability to support operations in-theater.
d. Loss of the FSBS and nuclear command and control incidents are addressed in
PINNACLE and NAVY BLUE guidance on pages 3-3 and 4-2.
2. ES. ES is defined as data placed on an information system possessing insufficient security

controls to protect the data at the required classification level, thus posing a risk to national
security. An ES must be treated as a potential loss or compromise of classified information.
Any ES involving Top Secret data (collateral and above) must be reported as an OPREP-3
NAVY BLUE. An ES involving secret and below data must be reported as an OPREP-3 only if
the incident meets the conditions outlined in chapters 1 and 4. Additional ES reporting
requirements outlined in ALCOM 156/08/NTD 11-08 (COMNAVNETWARCOM VIRGINIA
BEACH VA 032052Z NOV 08) still apply and can be found at NAVNETWARCOM’s
Classified Spillage Center Web site:
https://www.fleetforces.navy.mil/netwarcom/PlansPolicy/PolicyAndDoctrine/spillage/default.asp
x.
3. Report Content. The OPREP-3 NAVY BLUE is a USMTF based report that is incorporated
into reference (b). It is based on the OPREP-3 message and the message examples are edited
accordingly. This specific information must be included in the GENTEXT-INCIDENT
IDENTIFICATION AND DETAILS section of the OPREP-3 NAVY BLUE report:
a. Identification of the type of outage being reported, e.g., NIPRNET, SIPRNET, GCCS,
JWICS, etc.
b. Reference to the voice report in the record communications report of the event.

c. Description of the incident or event, including what, when, where, why and how, if
known.
d. Any pertinent information concerning the operational impact of the outage, specifying
what can and cannot be done, back-up plans and expected duration of the outage.
e. A statement in the record message report must be made as to whether FOLUP OPREP-3
NAVY BLUE reports of this incident are anticipated.
f. A FOLUP report containing the missing information must be submitted if all information
was not reported in the initial record message report.
b. Voice reports must be made to the appropriate MOC and or NOC. Ships at sea should
report via SATHICOM or secure telephone to the phone numbers listed in table 2-2 in chapter 2,
section II. Report all outages that significantly alter, hinder or impact current operations to
NAVNETWARCOM via secure telephone due to no SATHICOM access. Reports made by
secure telephone will include caller's name, phone number and where they can be reached.
c. Initial voice report. The initial voice report will be identified by the phrase "OPREP-3
NAVY BLUE," indicating that the communication is of high significance and must be
transmitted or relayed without delay as a matter of unquestioned priority. This IMMEDIATE
precedence message is transmitted by voice when means for record transmission of the
information are not available or when a transmission by voice is required to provide a timely
dissemination of information. OPREP-3 NAVY BLUE voice message formats are the same as
for OPREP-3 NAVY BLUE reports. Originators of this voice message should complete only
those lines required to pass the essential information in each voice message.

APPENDIX F – HOSTILE INCIDENT REPORTS
1. Specific Reporting Instructions. The OPREP-3 NAVY UNIT SITREP SENTINEL report is
used by any unit to provide the TACON for FP chain of command with immediate notification of
possible hostile incidents of military, political or media interests that do not meet the criteria for
OPREP-3 PINNACLE FRONT BURNER or OPREP-3 NAVY BLUE SENTINEL. (e.g., are not
of national or Navy-level interest but warrant reporting to the operational commander or
appropriate higher authority, such as: unauthorized access or events that have been initially
evaluated as a likely non-threat or hoax.) The reports are submitted to provide “as-it-happens”
information to the chain of command. Reportable hostile incidents, include, but are not limited
to:
(a) Any breach of security perimeter or unauthorized access.
(b) Suspected swimmer sightings near U.S. vessels and other U.S. owned watercraft.
(c) Bomb threats initially evaluated by the reporting officer as likely a hoax.
(d) Blocking of Military convoys.
(e) Threats to the President or Vice President of the United States.
(f) Any other suspected hostile incident that could facilitate base access and serve as a
precursor to future hostile incidents, such as the theft of materials to manufacture false
identification cards, stolen identification cards, stolen government license plates, etc.
(g) Unmanned Systems activity in proximity to Navy assets. All Navy installations and
facilities are directed to report any Unmanned System observed flying within the airspace above
the installation or facility or operating on or in close proximity to the installation or facility via
OPREP-3 NAVY BLUE SENTINEL or NAVY UNIT SITREP. All tenant commands and
activities located at U.S. Navy installations must report any observed Unmanned System activity
within the airspace above the host installation or operating on or in close proximity to the host
installation to base security as outline in their installation security plan. While operating
Unmanned Systems in proximity of Navy installation is not a hostile act in and of itself,
ambiguity of who is operating the Unmanned System and their intent, whether it be surveillance
or other malicious intent warrants reporting under TACON FP chain of command. Reference the
current FLEET, COCOM and OPNAV message guidance for report content and message
addressees.
2. Report Content. The OPREP-3 NAVY UNIT SITREP SENTINEL report is a USMTF based
report that is being incorporated into reference (b). It is based on the OPREP-3 message. The
message example is edited accordingly.

(1) Example: if an incident happens at Naval Base Norfolk then the report would be
made to the Commander, Navy Region Mid-Atlantic ROC, who would then report to the
respective Fleet Commander MOC, who would then report to the NOC.
(2) Example: if an incident happens at a non-Navy controlled port then the report would
be made from the afloat unit to the Numbered Fleet MOC, who would then report it to United
States Fleet Forces MOC, who would then report to the NOC.
b. Include as much of the information in subparagraph 2a in the initial voice report as

possible, but do not delay the initial report to gather additional information. The information
