U.S. Army Military Police School Detainee Policy, Procedures, and Operations Course
July 7, 2012 in U.S. Army
This lesson describes detainees captured or detained by the
US Armed Forces and provides key definitions. These definitions explain
the different personnel categories that a Military Police (MP) commander
may be required to handle, protect, account for, and ensure are treated
according to established laws, regulations, and international
agreements. For the purpose of this lesson, the broader use of the word
“detainee” applies to Enemy Prisoners of War (EPWs), Civilian Internees
(CIs), Retained Persons (RPs), and other classification terms for
US-controlled persons unless otherwise specified. Use of specific
detainee classifications does not preclude protections granted according
to Geneva Conventions I through IV (1949), Department of Defense (DoD)
Directive 5100.77, or protections promulgated under paragraph 1-5 of
Army Regulation (AR) 190-8. MP leaders and Soldiers conducting
Internment/Resettlement (I/R) operations must maintain task proficiency
for each category. For the purposes of this subcourse, detainee
operations are defined as operations that take or keep selected
individuals in custody as a result of military operations to control
their movement and activity and/or gain intelligence.
