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. States that criteria used for detainee operations were ambigious, holding areas were overcrowded, most detainees had no intelligence value.

(All) What is your overall role in detainee operation process? What involvement do
1.
you have in the interrogation process of detainee operations? Do you provide a means to validate detainee's information? Do you provide input as to the disposition of the detainee? (1.1, 1.2, 4.1) (FM 34-52 page 2-12 Battalion S2 Controls Interrogation employed for temporary period at battalion level receive PIR, IR, and SIR from the supported battalion S2. This will
ensure interrogators are fully oriented to the battalion's collection mission. In other instances, interrogators may be placed at brigade in an "on call" status, from which they can proceed to any of the subordinate battalions as circumstances warrant. Upon completion of a low-level, immediate-type interrogation, they can return to brigade and again become available for immediate employment. Commanders and S2s below brigade level who are unable to obtain interrogation support from higher
"tactical
echelons should include provisions in unit and staff standing operating procedures (SOPs) for the questioning" (not interrogation) of EPWs or detainees. They should identify assigned personnel for language capability. Interrogation personnel should provide training in the area of tactical questioning to designated S2 personnel. The potential for abuse of the EPW is greatest at the initial capture and tactical questioning phase. With the excitement and stress of the battlefield, it may become easy for unskilled personnel to resort to illegal techniques to elicit critical information. Instruction must stress the importance of the proper treatment of EPWs. Emphasize that the abuse of an EPW at the initial stage of contact often renders future interrogation futile. If you are engaged in, or supervising the tactical questioning of EPWs, you are responsible for ensuring that EPWs are treated in accordance with the requirement of
international and US law. Any tactical questioning conducted must be in response to the supported commander's PIR. At this level the brigade S2 must maintain secure communication with interrogation personnel to ensure requirements are answered. Except under extreme weather conditions, and MP availability, it is not necessary to keep EPWs within the confines of a building or other shelter at battalion level since they will not remain for more than a few hours before being evacuated. The capturing unit escorts or transports EPWs or detainees to the nearest collection point, and turns them over to the MP. Interrogators in DS of the brigade will screen and categorize all EPWs or detainees, question them, and report information obtained in response to brigade PIR, IR, and SIR. They will do this under time
constraints, -s all EPWs or detainees ust be evac ated wit •.It delay. I

c. The commander is responsible for establishing leadership climate of the unit and developing disciplined
and cohesive units. This sets the parameters within which command will be exercised and, therefore, sets

the tone for social and duty relationships within the command. (1) Commanders and other leaders
committed to the professional Army ethic promote a positive environment. If leaders show loyalty to their
soldiers, the Army, and the Nation, they earn the loyalty of their soldiers. If leaders consider their soldiers'

needs and care for their well-being, and if they demonstrate genuine concern, these leaders build a
positive command climate. (2) Duty is obedient and disciplined performance. Soldiers with a sense of
duty accomplish tasks given them, seize opportunities for self-improvement, and accept responsibility
from their superiors. Soldiers, leader and led alike, work together to accomplish the mission rather ,tha9
