What method must Navy units use to report fraternization incidents?

The correct method for Navy units to report fraternization incidents is through the Situational Report (SITREP). A SITREP serves as a formal communication tool that provides timely and relevant information on significant events, including incidents of fraternization, which can impact unit cohesion and discipline. By utilizing a SITREP, the command can ensure that the information is adequately documented, disseminated, and acted upon by the appropriate chain of command.

This method promotes accountability and ensures that potential issues are addressed promptly, maintaining the integrity of military operations and the standards of conduct expected within the Navy. Additionally, using a SITREP aligns with established protocols for serious incidents requiring immediate attention and review at higher command levels.
