heavy work, light work. and no work. Lists of these indi"Yiduallabor
levels of EPW ·will be posted in each EPW camp. If physical
conditions permit, each EPW will perform labor as directed by the
camp commander.
4-4. Authorized work
a. Categories. Levels of .Work for which each EPW are authorized
and may be compelled to perform are categorized as follows:
(I} Restricted worlc. EPW may be compelled to perfonn tfie following
types ·which may nOt be of a military nature or pwpose:
(a) Public works and building operations. The primary factor in
deciding whether EPW may be employed is the nature of the con·
struction being u,ndertaken. If the construction is purely militaQ' in
nature, each EPW may not be compelled to engage in such work. If
the construction is not purely military in nature. the purpose for
which the structure is to be used is the deciding factor. If the
completed construction is intended to be used primarily by units
engaged in. or in direct support of, military operations against the
. enemy, EPW may not be compelled to work on the project.
(b)" Transporting and handling stores. The ftrSt consideration· is
the nature of the property being handled. If the stores are military in
nature, EPW may not be compelled to transport or handle them. If
the items are not military in nature, then their purpose is the decid-ing
factor. EPW may not be. required to transport or handle stores
specifically consigned to units engaged in military operations. EPW
and RP may, however, be required to handle stores when handling
is incidental to the performance of authorized types of work. For
~xample, work in a military mess may be classified as domestic
jrvice. Handling of rations by EPW in connection wjth domestic
fu-vice may be required.
(c) Public utiJity services. Construction, repair, or maintenance of
water, sewage, drainage, gas, or electrical facilities are not of an
inherent military nature. The purpose of these services is the decid~
ing factor as to whether or not EPW may be compelled to engage in
such activi~s. Such services may be intended primarily or ex·
cluslvely for the benefit of units engaged in, or directly supporting,
oper"tions against the enemy. If so, EPW may net be required to
· perform these services. On the other hand, services intended primarily
or'exclusively for other purposes represent work that EPW may
be compelled to perform.
(2) Nonrestricted work. EPW may be compelled to perfonn types
of work listed below having no direct military purpose:
(a} Construction, administration, management. and maintenance
of EPW carops.
I b) Agriculture.
(c) Manufacturing industries, with the exception of metallurgicaJ,
machinery. and chemical industries.
(d) Commercial business and arts and crafts.
(e) Domestic service, including a clothing· repair shop, laundry,
balcery, or a mess hall.
' those whose training and experience have made them adept at il.
EPW wiJI nor be employed in tasks requiring:
(I) Exertion beyond physical capacity.
(2) Use of inherently dangerous mechanisms or materials such
as:
(a) explosives or mine removaJ.
(b) Mechanisms that are dangerous because the person is unsk.il~
led in their use.
(3) Climbing to dangerous heights or exposure to risk of injury
from falling objects under motion and not under ·run control.
b: Hwniliating work. No person will b,e assigned labor that is
humiliating or. degrading for a member of the U.S. Armed Forces.
This prohibition does not prevent EPW from doing ordinary and
frequently unpleasant tasks such as maintaining sanitation facilities,
ditch digging and manual labor in agriculture.
c. Other specifically prohibited work. Certain occupations or
types of work are prohibited for safety. security, or other reasons.
EPW and RP will not be:
!I) Pemlitted to work in an area where.~tbey may be exposed to
combat zone fm.
(2) Employed as personal servants to members of the U.S.
· Armed Forces.
(3) Employed to tend bars or seiVe alcoholic beverages in offi~
cers' messes or similar establishments.
(4) Pennitted to work i_nside correctional faciJity walls or near
inmates.
d. Questionable work. In case of· doubt as to whether certain
work is authorized, the next higher HQ Staff Judge Advocate (SJA)
wilJ review the proposed tasks. The purpose of the review will be to
ensure consistericy with this regulation and the law of war. The SJA
will provide recommendations in writing to the camp commander. A
copy will be forwarded to HQDA (DAJA-IA), WASH DC 2031()..

4-6. Decisions on work .conditions and safeguards

safe. They will take into account the guidance set forth in this
TeguJation. Conunanders wilJ. make decisions by ordinary standards
of sound judgment, assisted by the infonned advice of persons
familiar with. the occupations and other availa.ble data. Data wi~
include the opinions of the SJA. Pieliminary job thoining will be
given when necessary and; protective clothing and accessories win
be provided as required (e.g., hard-toed., shoes, goggles, and gloves).

labor. Commanders will malce periedic inspections to ensure satis·
facti>Iy conditions and· safeguards are maintained at all times.

Internment Serial Number
The internment serial number (ISN) is a unique identification number
assigned to each EPW, RP and Cltaken into the custody of the
U.S. Anned Forces. Throughout internment/detention, EPW!CJ are
identified. PWIS accountability for EPW, RP and Cl by the U.S. is
established when the ISN is assigned. The ISN will consist of three
components, with the firSt two separated by a dash as follows:
., a. Firsr Compontm. The first component wiiJ contain five chari:
ters. The TirSt two will be the alpha-characters ·us•. Tbe third
... _, ..:haracter will be either the alpha or nUmeric designation for the
command/theater Under which the EPW, RP aDd CI came into the
custody of the U.S. The founh and fifth positions are alpha-charac
·ters designating the EPW, RP and CJ serviog power.
b. Second Component. The second component is a six character
numeric identifier. These numbers will_ be assigned consecutively to
all EPW. RP and CI processed through ISN assigning organizations.
The Branch PWIC will assign blocks of numbers to ISN assigning
organization/elements in the supported theater.
c. Third Component. The third component wiJI consist of an
acronym identifying the classification of the individual: either EPW,
RP, or Cl, to represent Enemy Prisoner of War, Retained Person, or
Civilian Internee, respectively. Should an individual that was initially
classified as an EPW later detennined to be a medically or
religiously qualified retained person, the classification may be
changed to "RP''with the approval of the EPW command/brigade.
d. E:mmp/t. The fast EPW processed by an 1SN assigning organization
in a tlieater designated as ''9''and whose country was designated
as "AB"will be assigned the following ISN: US9AB- 000001·
EPW. The tenth such EPW processed by tlje saroe command will be
assigned the ISN of: US9AB-OOOOIO-EPW; If the eleventh individ·
ual processed by the same command was an RP and the fifteenth a
CI, their ISNs would be: US9AB·OOOOII-RP and US9AB-000015-CI,
respectively.
e. EPW transferred to CONUS without having been assigned an
ISN and those captured within the Continental U.S., will be processed
and assigned an ISN as above, by the CONUS EPW
