  • Force protection, including the protection of contractors, is the
  responsibility of commanders.
  • The unit must integrate contractor support into the overall support
  plan. Transportation of contractors on the battlefield must be planned.
  • Command and control of contract personnel is dependent upon terms
  and conditions of the contract. The contracting officer or his designated
  representative is the appointed liaison for monitoring contractor
  performance requirements and will ensure that contractors move
  material and personnel according to the combatant commander’s plan.
  A good technique is for the command to designate and train a unit
  COR or Contracting Officer’s Technical Representative (COTR) at each
  facility where contract interrogators will be working. Because
  international and domestic law, including SOFAs, affect the
  relationship between commanders and contract personnel,
  commanders and CORs should seek legal advice concerning issues
  arising during operations.
  • The unit must establish a contractor personnel reporting and
  accountability system. Again, a good technique is for the command to
  designate and train a unit COR or TCOR at each facility where
  contract interrogators will be working.
  • During deployments, contractors will live and work in field conditions
  comparable to those for the supported ARFOR. Living arrangements,
  transportation requirements, food, medical, and other support services
  will be provided according to the contract. These services may include
  but are not limited to––
   Non-routine medical and dental care.
   Mess.
   Quarters.
   Special clothing, equipment, weapons, or training mandated by the
  applicable commander.
   Mail.
   Emergency notification.
  • Planning must be accomplished to ensure agreed upon support to
  contractors is available to the responsible commander.

  Government, are met by the personnel they hire.
  K-15. Policy will dictate employment criteria such as minimum education,
  military service, security clearance, and previous training. Certain civilian
  experience and training may also meet the policy requirements for contract
