too nes LOW training.. Commanders tailor this training to the experience level of his soldiers. . AR 190-8 should at least receive mention as primary Army doctrine in this area and of course the
Geneva conventions for EPW treatment and DODD 2310.10 and CJCSI 5820.018 to indicate that Army Policy dictates that all receive EPW treatment at least until status can be determined. AR 190-8, paragraph 1-4g. Combatant Commanders, Task Force Commanders, and joint Task Force Commander have the overall responsibility for the EPW, Cl. and RP program, operations, andcontingency plans in the theater of operation involved to ensure compliance with international law of war. DoD Directive 2310.1 provides that persons captured or detained by the U S Military services shall normally be handed over for safekeeping to U S Army Military Police, or to detainee collecting points or other holding facilities and installations operated by U S Military Police as
soon as practical

2. What is the minimum standard of treatment that the US must provide any detainee? What policies/procedures do units have in place to support the U. S. General Protection policy relative to the treatment of Detainees in the custody ofthe U S forces? (1.1, 1.2, 4.1) Common Article 3, Geneva Convention and DODD 5100.77
making treatment IAW GG during all military operations. Per Common Article 3, GPW; FM 27-10; AR 190-8, paragraph 1-5 a-g, All persons detained, captured, interned, or otherwise held in U S Armed Forces custody during the course of conflict will be given humanitarian care and treatment from the moment they fall into the hands of U S forces until final release and repatriation. All persons taken into custody by U S forces will be provided with the protection of the GPW until
some other legal status is determined by competent authority.
3. What specific measures did the unit take prior to arrival in the AOR to ensure that subordinate leaders and soldiers know and understand how to treat, handle, and process detainees properly? Do leaders and Soldiers know and understand how to apply Detainee Operations doctrine and standards when they
1 DAIG - 754

DOD-016338

arrive in the AOR? Can you provide some examples. (1.1, 1.4, 1.5, 1.7, 1.8)
AR 190-8, DoD Directive 5100.77, 1949 Geneva Convention, FM 3-19.40, These are the primary
source for standards and doctrine concerning Detainee Operations. AR 190-8, paragraph 1-4 g,
The AR is a multi-service regulation for all services. (AR 350-1 paragraph 4-14c.(2) and table G-1
Refresher training, dated 9 April 2003), Level B training is conducted in units for officers, warrant
officers, NCOs and enlisted personnel commensurate with the missions of the unit. AR 190-8
paragraph 1-5(4)(C) DOD Directive 5100.77), All prisoners will receive humane treatment and
that the following acts are prohibited murder, torture, corporal punishment, mutilation, taking of
hostages, sensory deprivation, collective punishments, execution without trial by proper authority,
and all cruel and degrading treatment. Prisoners will be protected against all acts of violence to
include public curiosity. (DoD Directive 5100.77, paragraph 5.5.1, The Secretaries of the Military
Departments shall provide directives, publications, instructions, and training so that the principles
and rules of law of war will be known to members of their respective Departments, the extent of
such knowledge to be commensurate with each individual's duties and responsibilities.))
4. How is the issue of classification of detainees being handled? Are any Article 5 tribunals being held or is there a presumption that the insurgents clearly do not meet the Article 4 GC Ill EPW criteria (commanded by a person responsible for CitiDa his subordinates, wearing fixed distinctive sign, carrying arms openly, conducting

/tv-74
operations in accordance with the laws of war)? (1.1, 1.2, 1.4, 1.6, 4.1) AR 190-8, Chapter 1, para. 1-4.d.(4) "Provide guidance regarding GPW Article 5 Tribunals." Per Cmeet GPW Art.5, Art. 5 tribunals are required in International Armed Conflict situations when the EPW status of an individual is in doubt. Article 5 tribunals are not required absent international armed conflict (State vs. State). Therefore, normally Art. 5 will not apply in Afghanistan. (Presently, this is a consideration primarily in IRAQ. However, classification IAW AR 190-8 is still an issue in
Afghanistan)

security in a camp/collection point. AR 190-8, paragraph 3-6, Measures needed to

leadership climate of the unit and developing disciplined and cohesive units. This sets the parameters within which command will be exercised and, therefore, sets the tone for social and duty relationships within the command. (1) Commanders and other leaders committed to the
professional Army ethic promote a positive environment. If leaders show loyalty to their soldiers, the Army, and the Nation, they earn the loyalty of their soldiers. If leaders consider their soldiers' needs and care for their well-being, and if they demonstrate genuine concern, these leaders build a positive command climate. (2) Duty is obedient and disciplined performance. Soldiers with a sense of duty accomplish tasks given them, seize opportunities for self-improvement, and accept responsibility from their superiors. Soldiers, leader and led alike, work together to accomplish the
mission rather than feed their self-interest.. C
