text: FM 2.22.3 _________________________________________________________________________________
  capturing unit does not have the time nor the manpower to mark each
  document due to ongoing combat operations should the capturing unit fill out
  one capture tag for a group of documents. In this case, the capturing unit
  should place the documents in a weatherproof container (box or plastic bag).
  The capturing unit should fill out two copies of the DD Form 2745, placing
  one copy inside the container and attaching one to the outside of the
  container. If these forms are not available, the capturing unit records the
  required data on any piece of paper. Figure I-1 shows an example of a field
  expedient tag. At a minimum, the capturing unit should record the
  information as follows:
  • Time the document was captured as a DTG.
  • Place document was captured, including an 8-digit coordinate, and
  description of the location. This should be as detailed as time allows.
  For example, if a terrorist safe house was searched, documents might
  be “bagged and tagged” based on what room of the house they were in,
  what file cabinet, what desk, and so forth.
  • Identity of the capturing unit.
  • Identity of the source from whom the document was taken, if
  applicable.
  • Summary of the circumstances under which the document was found.
  I-15.Document evacuation procedures are listed in Annex B (Intelligence) to
  the OPORD. If the capturing unit does not contain a supporting HCT, it
  forwards any CEDs found on the battlefield directly to its S2. The S2 extracts
  PIR information as practicable, ensures that the documents are properly
  tagged, and ensures speedy evacuation to the next higher echelon through
  intelligence channels. Normally, a capturing unit will use any available
  vehicle, and in particular empty returning supply vehicles, to evacuate
  documents. Documents captured on or in association with detainees,
  including EPWs, should be tagged and removed from the detainee. They are
  evacuated with (but not on) the detainees to an MP escort unit or an EPW
  holding facility.
  I-16.When large numbers of documents are captured in a single location, it is
  often more expedient for the capturing unit to request a DOCEX team or
  HCT from the supporting MI unit be sent to the documents rather than
  attempting to evacuate all the documents. This reduces the burden on the
  capturing unit, facilitates the rapid extraction of information, and enables
  the priority evacuation of documents of importance to higher echelons. This
  method should only be used if the capturing unit can adequately secure the
  documents until the arrival of the DOCEX team and if the battlefield
  situation and MI resources permit the dispatch of a team. The capturing unit
  should include in its request the following:
  • The identification of the capturing unit.
  • Its location and the location of the documents.
