Tactical Guidelines for Handling Enemy Prisoners of War

This document outlines the critical 5 S's protocol for the safe handling of enemy prisoners of war (EPWs). The steps include searching, segregating, silencing, separating, and safeguarding. Thorough searches are essential to prevent hidden weapons that could lead to unexpected attacks. Segregation helps to disrupt chain-of-command dynamics, reducing coordination among EPWs. Silencing through similar methods prevents communication, and separating protects them from harm. The responsibility of every personnel involved is to ensure the safety and security of EPWs during transport and detainment.
