In a SALUTE reconnaissance report, which element describes observed actions?

• A. Size
• B. Activity
• C. Location
• D. Time

Answer: (B)

In a SALUTE report, the element that captures what people are actually doing is Activity. It records the actions and movements of the observed elements—things like moving, digging, loading, signaling, or entering a building—so you convey dynamic behavior and potential intent, not just static facts. This helps a commander understand what is actively happening at the location and when assessing risk or patterns. By contrast, Size notes how many or how big the element is, Location where it is, and Time when it was observed. So describing observed actions is best expressed through Activity.
