Description

Field manual (FM) 3-39.40 is aligned with FM 3-39, the military police keystone FM. FM 3-39.40 provides
guidance for commanders and staffs on internment and resettlement (I/R) operations. 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 3-39.40 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 U.S. 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 U.S. 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. I/R operations are a major subordinate Army tactical task under the
sustainment warfighting function. (See FM 7-15.) Placement under the sustainment warfighting function does
not mean that I/R operations do not have relevance in the other warfighting functions. While I/R is listed under
the sustainment warfighting function, it should be noted this is not a specified or implied mission of all
sustainment units or commands. Most sustainment units provide logistics, personnel services, and health service
support to I/R operations.
Military police are uniquely qualified to perform the full range of I/R operations. They have the requisite skill
sets provided through specific training and operational experience. The skills necessary for performing
confinement operations for U.S. military prisoners in permanent facilities are directly transferable and adaptable
for tactical confinement of U.S. military prisoners and detention of detainees. All military police units are
specifically manned, equipped, and trained to perform I/R operations across the spectrum and those identified as
I/R units are the specialists within the Army for this role.
FM 3-39.40 depicts the changes in terminology from the focus on the contiguous battlefield to reflect the types
of operations being conducted in today’s OEs. These changes address the modifications made to previous EPW
processing operations. The terms division forward, central collection point, and corps holding area no longer
apply. They have been replaced with the terms detainee collection point (DCP) (brigade level), detainee
holding area (DHA) (division level), theater internment facility (TIF), and strategic internment facility
(SIF).This manual recognizes the role of police intelligence operations in I/R operations and enhances the
critical importance of military police and military intelligence interaction at all echelons. It further highlights
the long-standing requirement to treat all individuals humanely according to applicable U.S. laws and
regulations, international laws, execution orders, fragmentary orders (FRAGOs), and other operationally
specific guidelines such as Department of Defense (DOD) policies. Moreover, it stipulates that ill treatment of
U.S. military prisoners, detainees (EPWs, CIs, and RP), and DCs is strictly prohibited, regardless of any
circumstances or the chaos of major operations.
FM 3-39.40 aligns with FM 3-0, FM 3-39, FM 7-15, and other Army and joint doctrine, to include Joint
Publication (JP) 3-63. This manual is organized into 10 chapters with 14 appendixes to provide additional
details on I/R topics. Chapters 1 through 3 follow the flow of FM 3-39, and describe the military police function
of I/R operations. Chapters 4 through 6 focus primarily on detainee operations, to include planning, preparing,
executing, and sustaining all I/R operations. Chapters 7 through 10 focus on the confinement of U.S. military
prisoners, rehabilitative programs for U.S. military prisoners and detainees, parole and release or transfer
programs, and resettlement operations for DCs. A brief description of each chapter and appendix follows:
Chapter 1 defines the objectives and principles of I/R operations and describes U.S. policies on the
protection and care of all detainees, U.S. military prisoners, and DCs. It also emphasizes the
fundamental requirement for the humane treatment of all persons captured, held, assisted, or otherwise
under the control of DOD personnel, regardless of their individual status.
