Religious Engagement Summary
In a narrative format, identify the engagements conducted within the past week. Weekly reports give the Command the information they need to report to higher, as well as keep you accountable on steady progress.
Engagements conducted on a regular basis build relationships that may prove to be critical as SIGACTs happen.
Highlight significant stories and be sure to cover the facts only. This is just an update. Assessments can be provided in detail in a separate operations summary (OPSUM).
