Reporting on time is very important as it eases and reduces anxiety. This is because all soldiers are expected to report to their squad leaders. Through this reporting, the NCO and the rest of the command chain are able to ensure that all soldier is at the right place and time. If all soldiers appear on time, it will be easy to know which are missing and a follow up may be made to find out why they are missing. In doing so, it will be easy to find out if a soldier is missing or not. If one however does not appear on time, yet they are well, it may bring confusion and other soldiers may start wondering where the person is. Such confusion and frustrations are dangerous to the unit for failure to report to the leader may bring in the assumption of one is injured, hurt or has simply taken and AWOL (Akin, 4).
