Spilling. The wave becomes unstable at the crest and forms white water at the crest. The white water (foam) expands slowly down the front face of the breaker. Breaker action is mild.
Plunging. The wave crest becomes so much faster than the base of the wave that it falls almost into the trough with violent action. The resulting foam appears almost instantly over the complete front. A t times, air is caught in the breaker as it tumbles forward, creating a type of explosion.
Surging. The wave crest tends to
advance faster than the base of the wave, suggesting the formation of a plunging breaker. However, just before breaking completely, the wave base advances faster than the crest and the plunging is arrested with the entire wave breaking on the beach, instead of on itself. These wave types are generally found on beaches with a steep gradient.

The number of well-defined breaker lines in the surf zone is reported, followed by the width of the surf zone, by us- ing the unit of measurement designated in line ALPHA.

Notes:
1 . Spilling wave action can generally be considered the least violent and dangerous to small boats and landing craft.
2. Surging wave action is generally the most violent and dangerous to small boats and anding craft because of the breaking action directly onto the beach.
3. Plunging wave action falls somewhere in between the tw o extremes, depending on storm action and other considerations.

Tunnel Report (TUNNELREP)
Begin the report with the subject line of the message followed by the re- port umber/serial umber, ode ame, nd ap heet etails s required.
ALPHA nits of Measurement. See the table on page 3. BRAVO
TG. This ine reports he time when reconnaissance
was completed.
CHARLIE
ocation and Classification. This line provides the grid reference of the tunnel location, ollowed by the engi-
neering classification, if known. If there is no t a person in the patrol who is qualified to classify the tunnel or if, because of the enemy situation, the patrol was unable to get he unnel classification, hen he etter ode NIL will be reported in its place.
DELTA
ength and Condition of Tunnel. This information is reported in the units of measurement designated in line ALPHA n he ollowing equence: he ength of the tunnel, followed by the condition of the tunnel. Tunnel damage will be classified by using the following letter code:
Condi t ion of Tunnel Letter Code
Not Damaged. There are no restrictions to military traffic other than the dimensions of the tunnel.

Boobytrapped, But Not Damaged. The tunnel is undamaged, but engineers will be required to clear the boobytraps to make the tunnel safe for military traffic.
Slightly Damaged. The tunnel is damaged but probably capable of safely allowing troops to pass. Engineers are required to allow vehicles to pass and to shore up the tunnel to allow safe, sustained traffic.
B
Significantly Damaged. The tunnel is no t safe for passage of troops or vehicles. The tunnel will require a major engineering effort to make it safe for traffic but will not require rebuilding in a new location.
D
Destroyed
ECHO
orizontal Clearance. This line reports the minimum
clear distance between he nside dges of the unnel from a height of 30 centimeters 1 foot) above the road- way surface and upward.
FOXTROT
idth of Traveled Way. This line provides the mini- mum distance between the curbs just above the traveled way (below 30 centimeters or oot). It is reported in the unit of measurement designated in line ALPHA.

Overhead Clearance. This is given in the unit of meas- urement reported in line ALPHA at the following points
and in this sequence:
st. Left shoulder. nd. Center of roadway. rd. Right shoulder. Note: f all overhead clearances are the same, report the measurement just once; t is understood that the over- head clearances are all the same.
Gradient. The gradient should be reported as a ratio.
Tunnel Use. The intended use of the tunnel will be re- ported by using the following numerical code:
