  interrogator qualifications. Commanders and CORs should refer to the
  current DA policy on contract interrogators for appropriate guidance.
  TRAINING REQUIREMENTS
  K-16. All contractor interrogators must successfully complete a training
  program approved by the United States Army Intelligence Center and Fort
  Huachuca, or the Defense HUMINT Management Office, which will serve
  as validation to perform MI interrogations (see DODD 3115.09). The
  organization Commander or Director initiating the contract must certify
  that the training has been completed. The training program will ensure
  that contract interrogators are trained and certified on—
  • The most current TTP of interrogation as promulgated by DOD.
  • The applicable law and policy related to the treatment of detainees.
  Applicable law and policy include US law; the law of war; relevant
  international law; relevant directives including DOD Directive
  3115.09, “DOD Intelligence Interrogations, Detainee Debriefings, and
  Tactical Questioning”; DOD Directive 2310.1E, “The Department of
  Defense Detainee Program”; DOD instructions; and military execute
  orders including FRAGOs.
  K-17. Contract interrogators must also receive training on the supported
  unit’s mission and Interrogation Counter-Resistance Policy pertinent to the
  AOR they are supporting. This training will be conducted in-theater by the
  gaining unit.
  EQUIPMENT
  K-18. Contractors must be issued personal protection gear appropriate for
  the threat environment. This may include ballistic helmet, personal body
  armor, NBC protective gear, and in certain circumstances a personal
  weapon. Contract interrogators must have access to automation equipment
  to support their mission of intelligence collection and reporting.
  UTILIZATION
  K-19. Only trained and certified contractors working under the supervision
  of MI personnel are authorized to conduct interrogations. Contract
  interrogators may conduct interrogations with an interpreter in the room;
  however, an OIC or NCO will monitor the interrogation by personal
  presence or by means of live video camera feed.
  K-20. Contract interrogators—
  • Will not supervise any military personnel or federal government
  employees, nor will they be in charge of interrogation facilities.
  • Will operate only in fixed facilities. This requirement provides a
  measure of force protection to the contract interrogator and frees up
  Army HUMINT collectors for tactical missions.
  • Must submit a written interrogation plan to the OIC or NCOIC, and
  receive approval for the plan, in advance of each interrogation. The
  plan will specify the information desired and identify what techniques
