text: Evasion and Recovery
  UNIFORMS
  8-48. It has traditionally been the practice of LRS teams to go to the field wearing sterile uniforms. The
  Geneva Convention only requires them to wear a nametag and US Army tags. The sole purpose of the
  sterile uniform is to avoid giving away the major supported unit or command. Wearing of rank is
  permitted. If captured, a Soldier must provide name, rank, SSN, and date of birth anyway.
  EVASION AIDS
  8-49. Evasion aids are easily accessible to the teams as long as the team knows where to request them.
  Some of the evasion aids available and methods of requesting them are--
  ISOLATED PERSONNEL REPORT (ISOPREP) (DD FORM 1833 TEST (V2))
  8-50. This is the most important source of authentication data in the US and in some coalition countries.
  When filled out, it becomes a classified document. JP 3-50.2 provides instructions for completing the
  ISOPREP card. When an individual enters an evasion mode the ISOPREP card should be forwarded to the
  RCC to assist in recovery (Appendix K).
  BLOOD CHITS
  8-51. The blood chit is a small piece of material imprinted with an American flag, control numbers in
  each corner, and a statement in English and in several other languages (spoken by the indigenous populace
  in the AO). This chit identifies the bearer as an American and promises a reward to any one or more people
  who help him return to friendly control. The presenter of the blood chit may either tear the control number
  off one of the corners, or he can let them write down the control number. He may also give them his name,
  rank and SSN, to assist in identification. When the blood chit number is presented to friendly authorities
  and the claim has been properly validated, it represents an obligation by the US government to provide
  compensation to the claimant for services rendered to the evader. Blood chits are available through JPRA,
  the office of primary responsibility for policy and authorizing the production, distribution, and use of blood
  chits. The National Imagery Mapping Agency (NIMA) maintains the capability to produce and reprint
  blood chits at the request of the combatant commander as coordinated through the JPRA.
  POINTIE TALKIE
  8-52. This is similar to language guides used by invasion forces in WWII. They are distributed by the
  JPRA. Each English phrase has the same phrase in various languages to the side. Simply point to the
  phrase you wish to use. One of the disadvantages of this are the same as the blood chit, which are you must
  make contact with people in order to use it. Literacy is also a problem that might arise among the
  local populace.
  EVASION CHARTS
  8-53. The National Imagery Mapping Agency (NIMA) distributes evasion charts. Each evasion chart is
  actually a series of eight 1:250,000 scale joint operations graphic (JOG) charts. The National Imagery
  Mapping Agency (NIMA) distributes evasion charts. Each evasion chart is actually a series of eight
  1:250,000 scale joint operations graphic (JOG) charts. The JOG charts are usually printed four to a side.
  The chart is overprinted with a camouflage pattern suitable for area terrain, and also includes an American
  flag that allows the evader to identify himself. An evasion chart combines standard navigation charts and
  includes evasion and survival information in the margins. In addition, it typically provides information on
  local navigation, survival medicine, environmental hazards, personal protection, and water and food
  procurement, plus photos of edible and poisonous plants and wildlife. The evasion chart is waterproof, and
  can provide a make-shift shelter in an emergency. It folds up small enough to fit into a cargo pocket or
  flight suit. If evasion charts are unavailable, tactical pilotage charts (1:500,000 scale) may be substituted.
  INTELLIGENCE DESCRIPTION FOR SELECTED EVASION AREA
  8-54. The term usually used for this is SAID, which means "SAFE area intelligence description" or,
  spelled out completely, "Selected Area for Evasion Intelligence Description." The "SAID" (say each letter)
  is distributed by the Defense Intelligence Agency for training and real-world contingencies. The SAID is
