b. Reporting Channels
All contingency-related casualty reports will be sent through casualty reporting channels to the
serving CAC. The CAC will verify all casualty information and submit casualty reports using the
web- based casualty reporting tool DCIPS-CR.

c. Reporting Timelines
Commanders in theater must submit the initial casualty report through casualty reporting
channels to the serving CAC within 12 hours of a casualty incident.

d. Casualty Liaison Teams (CLTs)
CACs must coordinate with patient administration offices to arrange for on-site CLTs to track
casualties evacuated to military, VA, or civilian hospitals within their area of responsibility. CLTs
are essential in providing updated information on all incapacitated injured or ill (III), seriously
injured/ill (SI), and very seriously injured/ill (VSI).

e. Reporting Procedures for Suspected Friendly Fire Incidents:
As soon as a commander suspects friendly fire, they will provide immediate notification through
the casualty reporting channels to the Casualty and Mortuary Affairs Operations Center
(CMAOC).
