Who is notified by an OPREP-3 Navy Unit SITREP?

• A. ISIC and appropriate Navy operational commanders
• B. Navy Emergency Communications Office
• C. Public Affairs Office
• D. Operational Weather Center

Answer: (A)

OPREP-3 Navy Unit SITREP is the rapid, high-priority report used to alert senior Navy leadership about significant unit-level incidents. The message is directed to the unit’s Immediate Superior In Command (ISIC) and to the appropriate Navy operational commanders. This ensures the right people—those who can assess impact, authorize responses, and coordinate resources—are informed immediately.

Other offices aren’t the standard recipients for this notification. The Navy Emergency Communications Office handles crisis communications processes more broadly, not the immediate internal notification path for a unit incident. The Public Affairs Office handles public-facing messaging and media relations, which typically comes after the command is informed. The Operational Weather Center provides weather support and doesn’t serve as an immediate notification target for incident SITREPs.
