The HICS-213 form is a specialized version of the ICS-213 form. The HICS-213 form also supports an embedded re[ply, and the same procedures for sending a simplified reply for an ICS-213 form can be used for an HICS-213 form.
Some notes:
- the ICS-213 form is the default form. Other forms must identify the form type follows the reply reference in the message body. The HICS-213 form is identified by HICS213 (no dash), see below

- field 8 is a compound field with the message and a check box to indicate if a reply is required. These are separated into two fields: field 8 for the text reply and field 8A for the check box reply required. We can not combine a text field and a logical field unambiguously. Since the checkbox is least likely to be used (and is omitted if blank) it is given the 8a field identifier.
- field 11, the replied by field may contain data not suitable for inclusion in the radiogram sender field. In this case field 11 must be included in the message body
