Army Memo on Processing Detainees
DETAINEE PROCESS
1.
Unit brings detainee(s) to Striker Detention Facility at FOB Pacesetter.
2.
Prior to admitting any detainee into the detention facility, the OIC/NCOIC that accompanies the detainee(s) to FOB Pacesetter comes to the 3-29 FA TOC and conducts an initial in-processing with the 3-29 FA S-2 section. Initial in processing includes a review of the detainee's packet. The detainee's packet should include:
a.
Filled out Coalition Apprehension Form
b.
CI screening form (if the unit has a CI team)
c.
Any sworn statements
d.
DA 4137 for all confiscated property
e.
EPW Category assessed
f.
A synopsis memo
g.
Identification validated
h. Photo printed Any discrepancies identified are annotated and the detaining unit is responsible for corrections needed.
3.
Once the initial in-processing is complete, the detainee(s) are then taken to the detention facility and in-processed by the 64e' MP Company. Simultaneously the 3-29 FA S-2 section validates the identity of the detainee(s) through the BDE S-2 while concurrently verifying against the Battalion's list.
4.
If the detaining Battalion S-2 does not conduct an initial interrogation of the detainee(s), the 3-29 FA THT will conduct the interrogation.
5.
If the detainee(s) is a CAT I or IA (have intelligence value, HVT, or a Foreign fighter), the detainee(s) will be immediately transferred to DCCP. Pacesetter S-2 will coordinate with DCCP not less than 24 hours prior to transfer. (DCCP runs occur every TUE and FRI)
6.
If the detainee(s) is determined to have no intelligence value (CAT B, C, or D) from and/or through interrogations, the detainee(s) is/are tried for the violations listed. ADA Form 6 selects the trial officer. Proceedings are conducted based on a summary courts martial model written by the 3BCT JAG.
7.
If detainee(s) was apprehended and is not of intel value or has not committed any other violations, then they are released. Prior to any release, Pacesetter S-2 contacts the detaining unit not less than 24 hours prior and receives an acknowledgement that a release is going to occur in the detaining units AO. If the unit has no objections or reasons to further detain the individual the detainee(s) is released. The releases are conducted on every WED and SAT.
8.
The major shortfalls that usually hold up a detainee from being released or transferred to DCCP are:
a. Coalition Apprehension Form improperly filled out. The form does not have all the
information needed. The Detaining soldiers name and Supervising officers name are the items that are
usually left off.
b.
Synopsis memo is missing or incomplete.
c.
CI screening sheet is missing or incomplete
d.
DA 4137 missing
e.
Sworn statements missing.
If the information is not on hand, it takes some units up to 3 weeks to complete the packets to expedite the process.
