Recovery Methods and Tasks

  • Recovery Methods: Include immediate, deliberate, and unassisted methods for military personnel recovery.
  • Unassisted Recovery: Involves evasion efforts and depends on the IP's condition.

    • Report: Recognizing and validating isolation using multiple sources such as intelligence and surveillance.
    • Locate: Ongoing efforts to determine the IP's position aided by technology like electronic beacons.
    • Support: Involves preparing family for media interactions and reducing their anxiety.
