I'm with Fifth Army training and thanks for the below info (via FORSCOM). For planning
purposes what do you estimate the training days (or hours) are required to complete the
revised detainee ops module? This will assist in planning overall training days required
for mobilizing units. Thanks,

Fifth Army Ops Center Training Desk

Sir, I have reviewed the attached document and identified which tasks are included within
the Detainee Ops TSP in addition to the originally identified ones on this document.

Most of the tasks identified in the attached guidance from MG Miller are covered within
the Detainee Ops TSP we developed however, I have identified below those that are not. We
are in the process of adding those tasks not covered in the original Detainee Ops TSP to
the AKO KCC web site in a separate folder identified as "Detainee Ops Other Tasks" NLT

WNW We recently received guidance from MNC-I in theater reference manditory training for Detainee Operations. I think the tasks listed in this guidance (attached) are covered in your TSP. Some of the tasks are titled differently or may be covered under the collective classes in the TSP. Could you take a look at this document from MNC-I and confirm weather or not you TSP covers these tasks. We need to know soon because we have to update our guidance to the units preping for deployment, some of which are training as we speak.
