DoD Questionnaire: Questions for Officer concerning their observations and experience in dealing with detainees, training before deployment and Rules of Engagement. The questionnaire appears to be in response to the accusations of detainee abuse and an effort to elicit information on the matter. A Captain/Chaplain with the Military Intelligence Unit states he was told not to get involved with the detainees in any way. He was aware of his responsibility to report abuse to chain of command. He also states he did all he could to provide religious services for detainees. Morale depends on location & how long the soldiers have been stationed there; not aware of any detainee abuse.
