DOJF131-002912
On 08/05/2002, the first NCAVC team was dispatched to
Lcific rEission of thE NCAVC .cersonnitl focused on

TCM3. ,sp,

preparing the interview teams from the FBI, Criminal
Investigative Task Force (CITF), the Defense Humint Services
(DHS), and the Counterterrorism Center (CTC) with a comprehensive

behavioral-based approach to the ongoing detainee interview
process.

The NCAVC assistance to the detainee interview process
includes a variety of efforts, all geared to aiding the
respective interview teams (i.e., CITF, DHS, CTC) in their
respective detainee interview(s). NCAVC assistance has and will
continue to include the development and implementation of
detainee-specific interview strategies. Preparation for this
effort may include an NCAVC review of case information within the
available detainee files, one-on-one consultations with an
interview team before the scheduled interview, and the

observation of a detainee interview at Camp Delta for feedback,
both during and after, the interview process. Additionally, the
NCAVC personnel at GTMO provide training to the detainee
interviewers in numerous areas concerning the general topic of

Interview and Interrogation.

The sixth NCAVC 45-day TDY team is currently at GTMO.
The NCAVC mission, although it has remained basically the same,
has evolved over time due to the very dynamic status of the

verall GTMO mission which has been and will continue to be
rcontrolled by the various components of the United States
military.

It is the purpose of this EC to more specifically
define the role of NCAVC personnel while assigned to GTMO.
Accordingly, the following guidelines are provided:

Prior to Deployment

Ensure all clearance and travel requirements to GTMO

have been conducted. These deployment requirements are
noted on the previously-provided FBIHQ/GTMO Task Force
checklist which provides specific information on these

issues.

Ensure steps have been taken to address the upcoming

needs of your assigned NCAVC case work. Consider
contacting each lead investigator regarding each case
to advise of your upcoming forty-five (45) day TDY

status. If appropriate, advise fellow NCAVC members of
the possibility that their services may be
needed/requested if the specifics of a case mandate
such actions.
