## What is BR?

Digital staging area management for civil protection and disaster relief operations. Manage units, personnel strength, and operations logbook right on your device — fully offline and without registration.

SITUATION OVERVIEW AT A GLANCE
The dashboard shows the current situation: personnel strength, vehicles, organizations, and mission duration. The tactical clock runs in DDHHmmMMMYY format. Forces are displayed by organization with color coding. Weather forecast with 24h outlook right on the dashboard.

UNIT MANAGEMENT
Check in units with organization, vehicle, license plate, and tactical strength (leaders/sub-leaders/crew). Set status to Deployed, Resting, or Not operational. Deployment time tracking with configurable warning. Batch checkout with preview. Duplicate detection warns on double check-ins.

TASK TRACKING
Create tasks, set priorities (High/Medium/Low), and assign units. Assigned units automatically switch to Deployed and revert on completion. All changes are logged automatically.

OPERATIONS LOGBOOK
Automatic logging of all check-ins, check-outs, status changes, and shift handovers. Manual entries with control fields complement the logbook. Situation report timer reminds about due reports at configurable intervals.

PDF EXPORT
Export the operations logbook and force verification report as print-ready PDFs — official document style with header data, strength overview, and signature line. Share directly via email, messenger, or AirDrop.
