When must units submit Use of Force Reports generated from MISLE?

Units are required to submit Use of Force Reports generated from the MISLE (Marine Information for Safety and Law Enforcement) system within 72 hours of the incident or 24 hours after connectivity is restored. This timeline is specified to ensure timely documentation and accountability for the use of force incidents, allowing for thorough review and analysis while the details are still fresh. The allowance for 24 hours after connectivity recognizes the potential for operational challenges that may hinder immediate report submission in the field.

This requirement ensures that reports can be accurately compiled and assessed, facilitating better oversight and adherence to procedures regarding the use of force during maritime operations.
