Sample individual equipment .. J-17 viii FM 12 February 2010 Preface Field manual (FM) is aligned with FM 3-39, the military police keystone FM. FM provides guidance for commanders and staffs on INTERNMENT and RESETTLEMENT (I/R) operations .

10 This manual addresses I/R operations across the spectrum of conflict, specifically the doctrinal paradigm shift from traditional enemy prisoner of war (EPW) operations to the broader and more inclusive requirements of detainee operations . Additionally, FM discusses the critical issue of detainee rehabilitation. It describes the doctrinal foundation, principles, and processes that military police and other elements will employ when dealing with I/R populations. As part of INTERNMENT , these populations include military prisoners, and multiple categories of detainees (civilian internees [CIs], retained personnel [RP], and enemy combatants), while RESETTLEMENT operations are focused on multiple categories of dislocated civilians (DCs). Military police conduct I/R operations during offensive, defensive, stability, or civil support operations . I/R operations include military police support to military prisoner and detainee operations within operational environments (OEs), ranging from major combat operations to humanitarian-assistance missions in support of a host nation (HN) or civil agency.
