Trying to decipher a US Army morning report, some abbreviations are obvious, others not so much. Any good links or helpful info?

From what time period?  WWII, Viet Nam, Iraq?  I had to get a copy of my morning reports to show I was wounded and my health problems are directly related to that event.  Tip, request the entire month in which any event took place.   The cost is the same if you only request one day.

My problem was that I was not listed in the after action report as being wounded, but was listed correctly in the Morning report.  The Lt. that did the AAR only listed the men that had been Medevac’d  out, I stayed in the field because at the time, I was the only medic still alive.

really isn't a lot of abbreviation, what is it that you don't understand, what section?
