 Information from SR patrols is likely to contribute to HUMINT collection, but, depending on the mission, may also contribute to IMINT, TECHINT, SIGINT, and MASINT Some of those techniques may be extremely sensitive and held on a need-to-know basis within the special reconnaissance organization and the all-source intelligence cell.SR personnel generally report basic information, which may be expressed with the "SALUTE" mnemonic

SR troops, however, also are trained in much more advanced reporting, such as preparing multiple map overlays of targets, lines of communications, civilian and friendly concentrations, etc.They can do target analysis, and also graph various activities on a polar chart centered either on an arbitrary reference or on the principal target.
