Study Notes
Personnel Recovery Overview
- Personnel Recovery (PR) encompasses military, diplomatic, and civil efforts aimed at recovering and reintegrating isolated personnel (IPs).
- The overall goal of PR is to utilize all available options to return IPs to friendly control.
Types of Personnel Recovery Options
- Diplomatic Recovery: Involves government actions rather than military or civil operations.
- Isolated Personnel: Includes US Military, DoD civilians, contractors, and others designated by the Secretary of Defense, but excludes hostages.
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.
-
PR Tasks:
- 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.
- Recover: Execution of recovery operations, disseminating information, and alerting the medical team.
- Reintegration: Focused on addressing medical needs and conducting debriefing for operational impact.
Focal Groups in Personnel Recovery
- Individuals/Isolated Personnel: Includes soldiers and DoD personnel who must master PR proficiencies.
- Unit/Recovery Force: Responsible for conducting recovery operations and developing PR guidance.
- PR Focal Groups: The collaboration of command, recovery force, and isolated personnel to synchronize actions is crucial in PR.
Key Concepts and Definitions
- Immediate Recovery: Occurs in tactical situations with no detailed planning required.
- Essential ISG Elements: Must include signals, link-up procedures, and isolation criteria; visual sightings are not essential.
- Capture Models: Different models include Prisoner of War, Peacetime Government Detention, and Hostage Detention, emphasizing safety.
Examples of Personnel Situations
- Kurt Muse represents personnel determined by the President for recovery, while MAJ Cornum was identified as a Prisoner of War.
- Mr. Taggart was categorized as a hostage, with his release being a diplomatic recovery option.
Information and Guidelines
- Theater PR Regulations: Expand on recovery forces employment in a specific theater.
- PR Special Instructions: Contain real-time, specific recovery information for forces and IPs disseminated electronically.
- Operational Orders (OPORD): Provide guidelines and responsibilities for specific operations.
Common Misunderstandings
- It is inaccurate to state that PR options cannot be combined; the three focal groups must collaborate effectively.
