  Appendix E
  Extracts from Allied Joint Publication (AJP)-2.5
  Following are excerpts from Allied Joint Publication-2.5, Handling of Captured
  Personnel, Equipment and Documents. AJP-2.5 is primarily an amalgamation of
  procedures outlined in STANAG 2033, STANAG 2044, and STANAG 2084, and will be
  used as the authoritative source for matters governed by those STANAGs. S2s and
  HUMINT collectors should maintain a copy on hand.
  THE GENEVA CONVENTIONS
  E-1. Treatment of prisoners of war (PWs) and other detainees as well as the
  handling of personal possessions including personal documents belonging to
  them will at all times be in accordance with the 1949 Geneva Conventions
  and, if ratified by the nations concerned, with the 1977 Protocols.
  THE DETAINING POWER
  E-2. The responsibilities of the ”Detaining Power” as set out in GC3 shall rest
  with the nation or the deployed NATO command which initiated the capture
  or detention of the person or persons in question.
  E-3. Transfers of PWs between NATO nations must be in accordance with
  GC3, Article 12, as interpreted but not superseded by national agreements.
  KNOWLEDGE OF THE GENEVA CONVENTIONS AND THE 1977
  PROTOCOLS
  E-4. The Geneva Conventions require the signatories in time of both peace
  and war to circulate the text of the Conventions as widely as possible within
  their countries. They are especially required to ensure that the provisions
  and implications of the Conventions are clearly understood by the members
  of their armed forces and by the civilians attached to them. In order to assist
  this process, it is suggested in the Conventions that instruction in them is
  included in the syllabus of appropriate military and civilian courses of
  instruction.
  E-5. The conventions also state that any military or other authority
  assuming responsibility for dealing with PWs in time of war or armed conflict
  must be in possession of the text of the Conventions and that its personnel
  must be instructed in how the Conventions affect them in the execution of
  their duties with PWs.
  E-6. If ratified by the nations concerned, these requirements are, by
  inference, also applicable to the 1977 Protocols.
