Army Memo from Major General Odierno to Ironhorse Commanders, Leaders and Soldiers re: Treatment of Detainees. The purpose of this memo is to provide guidance for the treatment of enemy prisoners of war (EPW) civilian internees (CI) and other detainees (OD) in the custody of US Forces. Prohibits inhumane treatment of EPWs, CDs, and Ods. Neither the stresses of combat, nor deep provocation, will justify inhumane treatment.
