"State secret! To the commander of the Security Police, for the attention of SS Obersturmbannfuhrer HEIM, KRAKAU. Re: 14-day report operation REINHARD. Reference: radio telegram from there
Recorded arrivals until December 42, L 12761, B 0, S 515, T 10335, totalling 23611. Situation 31 December 42, L 24733, B 434508, S 101370, T 71355, totalling 1274166. SS and police leader of Lublin, HOFLE, Sturmbannfuhrer"
Those camps are part of AR and up to the end of Dec 1942, they received 1.274 million people. From witnesses and transport records as ghettos were being cleared, the camps which huge numbers of people were being sent to were Belzec, Sobibor and TII.
Lets look at the original.

It clearly says:
14- tägige Meldung Einsatz Reinhart translated that becomes
14-day report deployment. It depends on the context but could also mean entry, exercise, enemy flight, detour, mission, assignment, operation, action.
The danger is taking a word out of context like is done here with assumptions as to its meaning.
Einsatz means "commitment'
It is quite reasonable, from their role in AR, to call those camps AR camps.
No it is not as only assumptions are made without the full knowledge of the context of the report known. This merely says the deployment statistics for a period of 14 days. Then there is a "summing up" wrongly translated as totalling, though it is close enough not to go into a debate over it.
From this mistranslation of Einsatz it would seem a whole camp structure materialized as well as an operation of mass murder under the misnomer Aktion Reinhart.
The other document that links Hofle to AR (and is the earliest document to mention AR) and which proves there were specific camps as part of AR and their role involved the evacuation of Jews is;
