  1. Report.
  a. Receive the report. Establish communication with the movement and maneuver functional cell
  and the protection functional cell to receive the initial report and subsequent reports. Record receipt of the
  report or reports.
  b. Transmit the report and alert all personnel recovery elements. Alert the points of contact.
  Coordinate with the movement and maneuver functional cell to alert the on-call or designated recovery
  force of a potential mission. Inform all key personnel of the personnel recovery structure.
  c. Gather information. Establish situational awareness.
  (1) Determine—
  (a) The date-time group of the initial report.
  (b) The who, what, where, when, why, and how of the incident.
  (c) The evasion plan of action location and contents.
  (d) The reported medical and behavioral health condition of isolated persons.
  (e) The capability of isolated persons to self-recover.
  (f) The ability of isolated persons to survive.
  (g) Practical needs, such as communications, survival evasion aids, signaling devices, and
  clothing or footwear.
  (2) Analyze DD Forms 1833, Isolated Personnel Report (ISOPREP), data for information on the
  isolated persons and their readiness to contribute to their own recovery.
  (3) Determine the validity of the report by contacting the current operations integration cell or
  the appropriate unit or organization of isolated persons. Determine if isolated persons are under
  observation by hostile forces or the local population.
  (4) Obtain updated intelligence on the incident.
  (5) Review the current operation order and latest fragmentary order, and develop situational
  awareness of the area of operations.
  d. Request support. Determine needed augmentation of personnel or materiel for round-the-clock
  operations during the incident or incidents.
  2. Locate.
  a. Confirm the location of the isolation event. Coordinate with the movement and maneuver
  functional cell and the appropriate unit or individual to verify the event. Coordinate for continued
  monitoring of isolated persons.
  b. Establish communication. Determine exactly how communication with isolated persons is being
  maintained.
  c. Continue gathering information about the situation. Contribute to a fragmentary order or
  operation order to execute the recovery.
  (1) Identify the source of location information, such as local observation, information collection,
  or an isolated person.
  (2) Find out exactly how the source established the location of the isolated person or persons,
  such as last-known point, Global Positioning System, or map estimation.
  (3) Identify on-scene and nearby forces.
  (4) Cross-cue intelligence capabilities and other disciplines, such as national, theater, and joint
  or component assets.
  (5) Obtain the personnel recovery word of the day, number of the day, and personal information
  provided by the unit.
  d. Maintain communication with all nodes of the personnel recovery structure. Continue to facilitate
  situational awareness and decision making and to enable rapid adaptation.
  3. Support.
  a. Ascertain the continued viability and mobility of isolated persons.
  b. Establish control measures. Establish air, ground, and fire control measures to ensure isolated
  persons are safe.
  c. Reauthenticate. Refer to data from the DD Forms 1833 and information provided about the
  current mission by the unit. Follow appropriate authentication and identity validation procedures.
