text: FM 2-22.3 _________________________________________________________________________________
  Geneva Conventions Relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of
  War (GC). (See Appendix A.) For persons covered by those Conventions,
  applicable GPW and GC provisions must be adhered to at all times.
  (Regarding treatment of detained personnel, see also paragraph 5-74.)
  5-52. There is an additional protocol to the Geneva Conventions called
  Protocol I Additional to the Geneva Conventions, 1977, which also contains
  definitions of who is a civilian and who is an EPW (Articles 50 and 44). The
  US has not ratified Protocol I nor does it accept the expanded definition of
  EPWs that it contains. Requirements managers, J/G/S2X personnel, and
  HUMINT collectors should understand, however, that coalition military
  personnel with whom they may work may be bound by Protocol I, and those
  coalition personnel may be required to treat additional personnel as EPWs.
  Any questions concerning the GPW and Protocol I must be directed to the
  SJA office for clarification.
  5-53. Interrogation operations are specific operations normally conducted at
  detainee collection facilities directed at the wide-scale collection of
  information from detainees using interrogation techniques. Although field
  interrogations are conducted at all echelons and during all operations in
  which there are detainees, detention facilities where interrogation operations
  occur are normally located only at theater or JTF level.
  5-54. Compliance with laws and regulations, including proper treatment of
  detainees, is a matter of command responsibility. Commanders have an
  affirmative duty to ensure their subordinates are not mistreating detainees
  or their property. HCT leaders must effectively supervise their subordinate
  collectors during all interrogation operations. Supervisors must ensure that
  each HUMINT collector has properly completed an interrogation plan and
  sound collection strategy, and fully understands the intelligence
  requirements he is seeking to satisfy prior to beginning an interrogation.
  NCOs and WOs should regularly participate in interrogations with their
  subordinates to ensure that the highest standards of conduct are maintained.
  Interrogation supervisors should also monitor interrogations by video, where
  video monitoring is available. The production, use, and dissemination of
  interrogation videos must be tightly controlled by HCT leaders. Such videos
  must not be released for dissemination outside the Intelligence Community
  without the express permission of the SECDEF or his delegate.
  NON-DOD AGENCIES
  5-55. Non-DOD agencies may on occasion request permission to conduct
  interrogations in Army facilities. These requests must be approved by the
  JTF commander or, if there is no JTF commander, the theater commander or
  appropriate higher level official. The interrogation activity commander will
  assign a trained and certified interrogator to escort non-DOD interrogators to
  observe their interrogation operations. The non-DOD personnel will sign for
  any detainee they want to question from the MPs, following the same
  established procedures that DOD personnel must follow. In all instances,
  interrogations or debriefings conducted by non-DOD agencies will be
  observed by DOD personnel. In all instances, non-DOD agencies must
  observe the same standards for the conduct of interrogation operations and
