  and timing of support needed depend largely on physical and psychological conditions of recovered
  persons.
  1-66. Initial reintegration actions secure recovered individuals, provide basic life support, and transport
  individuals to a processing facility, normally at a division, corps, or theater army headquarters.
  Subsequently, initial reintegration focuses on in-theater activities to provide remedial medical, behavioral
  health, and spiritual care. The goal is to restore recovered persons to good health so they can return to their
  unit or organization. Additional intelligence debriefings may occur. Family reunions are possible at this
  point. Some individuals return to the United States to reunite with family or to receive medical and
  behavioral health care, possibly for the long term.
  1-67. The on-scene commander bases reintegration team composition on the situation and the number and
  condition of recovered persons. A short, relatively trauma-free isolation may require only local team
  members, while other situations require a large team with more specialties for long periods. Depending on
  the situation, family contact initially may be limited. Commanders determine when and how to include
  family members.
  1-68. The commander determines who has access to recovered persons. Public affairs personnel coordinate
  with the reintegration team for media access according to the commander’s guidance. Casualty assistance
  and family assistance representatives contact families. These representatives may request the PRCS to help
  arrange a reunion with family members when appropriate.
  1-69. Two general considerations for reintegration include quickly assessing the condition and needs of
  recovered persons—referred to as status determination—and arranging transportation. The recovery force
  makes an initial status determination and communicates recovered persons’ status to its headquarters, the
  appropriate movement and maneuver functional cell, and the reintegration team. The PRCS coordinates
  with the recovery force to arrange transportation of recovered persons to locations in which reintegration
  activities begin. This transportation may require a combination of modes. The PRCS ensures that a security
  force and a knowledgeable escort (briefed by the PRCS) accompany recovered persons.
  1-70. A seamless transition from recovery force to reintegration team facilitates an effective return to duty
  or reassignment. The PRCS ensures that members of the reintegration team greet recovered persons at the
  handover point and begin medical, behavioral health, and life-support services immediately. The PRCS and
  the reintegration team inform the returnees about what to expect.
  1-71. The reintegration team focuses on debriefing. The team, with the help of the PRCS, gathers
  biographical information from recovered persons, the associated data from DD Form 1833, and unit records
  to facilitate the reintegration teams understanding. The reintegration team develops a debriefing schedule,
  including locations, times, and appropriate content and determines participants. Debriefing subjects can
  typically include tactics, intelligence, personnel recovery, and criminal investigation, for example of
  perpetrators or captors in a hostage-taking event involving nongovernmental organizations. The purpose of
  reintegration is not the criminal prosecution of the returnee. Debriefing requires proper documentation.
  Recovered persons sign a DD Form 2810 (Personnel Recovery Debriefing Statement). Recovered
  individuals and all persons participating in reintegration sign a Standard Form 312 (Classified Information
  Nondisclosure Agreement).
  1-72. The team ensures recovered persons receive needed medical and behavioral health care before
  debriefings. The reintegration team collaborates with health experts to determine if recovered persons are
  ready to conclude reintegration activities. If individuals are considered ready for duty, the reintegration
  team consults with the appropriate authorities and recommends their return to duty. The PRCS continues to
  coordinate reintegration activities until the commander determines they should end. Regardless of the next
  step for recovered individuals, after completing reintegration, the PRCS arranges transportation. The chain
  of command and human resources representatives determine final duty status for Soldiers.
  1-73. The PRCS is responsible for fully documenting each isolating event and its aftermath, including
  reintegration activities. This important task is challenging because a PRCS may be simultaneously tracking
  and supporting all five personnel recovery tasks for concurrent incidents. Reintegration activities occur at
  medical, behavioral health, and other facilities at many different locations. The chain of command expects
  regular updates on the status of recovered Soldiers. In addition to ongoing monitoring and documentation
  of reintegration, the PRCS maintains readiness for the next isolating event. This generally involves working
