  6-85. Explosive ordnance disposal elements supporting subordinate maneuver units can neutralize hazards
  from conventional unexploded ordnance,explosives and associated materials,improvised explosive devices
  (IEDs),booby traps containing both conventional explosives and CBRN explosives that present a threat to
  those units. These elements may dispose of hazardous foreign or U.S. ammunition, unexploded ordnance,
  individual mines, booby-trapped mines, and chemical mines. Breaching and clearance of minefields is
  primarily an engineer responsibility. (See ATP 4-32.2 and ATP 4-32.3 for additional information about
  unexploded ordnance procedures.)
  Note. (See chapter 7 for information on the CBRN environment, CBRN defense measures, and
  CBRN working group.)
  6-86. The BCT commander is committed to the safety and security of the members of and attached to the
  BCT. The commander emphasizes personnel recovery throughout the operations process to prevent forces or
  individual Soldiers from becoming isolated,missing,or captured. Individuals or groups become isolated for
  a variety of reasons, including their own behavior, enemy actions, and interaction with the physical
  environment. The BCT commander and staff must guard against treating personnel recovery as episodic,
  must anticipate requirements, and integrate personnel recovery throughout all operations. The commander
  develops three interrelated categories of information to exercise command and control of personnel recovery:
  personnel recovery guidance,isolated Soldier guidance,and evasion plan of action.
  6-87. The BCT commander and staff must have an understanding of the complex, dynamic relationships
  among friendly forces and enemies and the other aspects of the operational environment (including the
  populace). This understanding helps the commander visualize and describe the intent for personnel recovery
  and to develop focused planning guidance. Effective personnel recovery planning guidance accounts for the
  operational environment and the execution of operations. Personnel recovery guidance provides a framework
  for how the BCT and subordinate units synchronize the actions of isolated personnel and the recovery force.
  As the commander develops personnel recovery guidance for subordinate units,the commander must ensure
  that subordinates have adequate combat power for personnel recovery. The commander must also define
  command relationships with the requisite flexibility to planand execute personnel recovery operations.
  6-88. The commander translates personnel recovery guidance into recommendations usually known as
  isolated Soldier guidance. Isolated Soldier guidance focuses on awareness, accountability, and rapid
  reporting of isolation incidents. Isolated Soldier guidance anticipates the potential situation. As with
  personnel recovery guidance,there is no set format. At the BCT level,where there are no dedicated personnel
  recovery staff officers and noncommissioned officers, the guidance is a part of the general protection
  guidance. The commander gives guidance for developing isolated Soldier guidance during initial planning
  and establishes isolated Soldier guidance for operations in any area with a risk of isolation.
  6-89. The commander determines if units or individuals require an evasion plan of action. Typically,evasion
  plans of action contain specific instructions developed for short-term aviation operations (air movements and
  air assaults) and ad hoc groupings such as combat and reconnaissance patrols, ground convoys, combat
  outposts, and HUMINT teams or civil affairs teams. These operations and ad hoc groupings develop an
  evasion plan of action when the risk of isolation is elevated and make modification to the plan when
  conditions change.
  6-90. Personnel recovery guidance, isolated Soldier guidance, and evasion plan of action apply also to
  civilians and contractors. Because the isolated person may include Department of Defense civilians and
  contractors authorized to accompany the force, the BCT commander and staff must develop a
  communications program to inform these individuals. Civilian and contractor members of the organization
  need the guidance necessary for their safety, especially the isolated Soldier guidance that enables them to
  contribute to prevention, preparation, and self-recovery if they become isolated. When dealing with local
  national or third-country national contractors,culture and language complicates this process. (SeeFM3-50
  for additional information.)
  6-91. The conduct of offensive operationsoften requiresthe temporary resettlement of dislocated civilians
  (see FM 3-39and FM 3-57) and the conduct of detainee operations (see FM 3-63). The BCT can expect to
  accumulate a sizeable number of dislocated civiliansor detainees,all with varying classifications,depending
