CHAPTER ONE
're-Academic laboratory goals:
1.1. Provide a cognitive framework for the students to refer to during fUture academic instruction.
To give students the most reliable mental picture possible of an actual peacetime governmental
detention experiences.
1.2. Dispel preconceived notions regarding specific issues surrounding peacetime governmental
detention. To give students an accurate understanding of those conditions.
1.3. Provide an exposure to stressors, which will be used/identified during follow-on training.
1.4. Convey to students that any pre-conceived notions they may have had regarding previously
learned resistance behavior may vary in their effectiveness in a peacetime governmental
detention setting.
1.5. Motivate students to become more involved during academic instruction. This results by
heightening the student's awareness of a "training deficit" during the pre-academic detention
experience.
1.6. Allow students to complete the pro-academic laboratory with a sense that they can, through
additional training and guidance, snrre.cfully survive and return with honor. Maximum effort
will be made to ensure that students do not develop a sense of "learned helplessness" during
the pre-academic laboratory.

CHAPTER TWO
2. Pre-Academic Laboratory detention phase description.
. Capture: Provide a compromising situation that exposes students to: (a) A realistic capture
consistent with safety, time constraints, and real world student missions. (b) A meaningfia
experience that allows the students to relate and project themselves into the training event.
2.2. Search: Provide a situation that exposes students to: (a) a search based on an anticipated
detention situation, (b) humiliation and degradation of a strip and body cavity check, (c) the
removal of all items that provide support or identity for that individual.
2.3. Tactical Interrogation: Provide a tactical interrogation that exposes students to: (a) an
unsophisticated interrogation that requires them to deal with a harassing, insulting, and
physically abusive questioner. (b) Difficult and sensitive questions of an immediate nature
that
require the student to avoid answering. (c) Information gathering that may latter be used
against
them in future interrogations.
2.4. Isolation: Provide an isolation experience that exposes students to: (a) The effects of sleep
deprivation, exhaustion. boredom, hunger, and fear of the unknown, (b) Benefits and the need
for inter-group communication.
2.5. Tao-Stress: Provide an iso-stress environment for students to: (a) Accelerate the fatiguing
process, (b) Accentuate the feeling of isolation, (c) Expose students to self-inflicted
punishment.
2.6. First Round Interrogation: Provide an interrogation that exposes the student to indirect
approaches such as a friendly or business-like interrogator. A snore direct approach may be
used when a student is being arrogant or defiant. Information on a broad range of topics is
collected and documented, with an emphasis on information that can be used to confront other
students in the group, at a latter time.

2.7. Second Round Interrogations: Provi
de an interrogation that exposes the student to direct
approaches such as fear and despair, accus
ation, and disgrace. An indirect approach may be
used when a student appears to be coope
rating or is not contradicting himself or others.
Students are exposed to the danger of giving
seemingly harmless information, contradictions in
information gathered during previous interro
gations, and conflicting stories from fellow
students. Students are exposed to the
process of political exploitation. They may have to deal
with the stress of watching someone
receive abuse for their lack of cooperation.
2.8. Early release: Provide an early release
scenario that exposes the student to the difficulty
of
selecting an individual for early release and
the exploitation value of the detainee for
propaganda purposes.
2.9. Press Conference: Provide a press confe
rence that exposes the student to exploitation of the
detainee by the media and exploitation through the
media of the detainee, by the capture.
2.10. Termination Speech: Provide a termin
ation speech that exposes the student to positive and
negative examples of their behavior during
the laboratory and provides an obvious end to the
role-play environment.

CHAPTER THREE
3. Student Movement.
3.1 Transporting Students Safely: Student and Instructor safety are extremely important and will
be monitored for full compliance at all times throughout RTL operations. The movement of
students around the training environment is one area of specific concern. Listed below arc
the guidelines for transporting students.
3.2 Never leave a hooded student standing alone unless they are grounded against a solid object
such as a wall. This is primarily due to the students' lack of orientation and balance with the
hood on.
3.3 Never transport/lead a student by grasping the handcuff's in any manner. Students will be
transported by firmly gripping the forearm or shoulders.
3.4 The instructor transporting students is responsible for their safety. Let the students
know if there arc any hazards such as ice, stairs, steps, sharp drop-offs, or any other obstacles
they must traverse. Do not play games with them such as marching than in circles or jetting
and stopping than abruptly. Transportation of students is a necessary logistical function of
training and is not meant to be harassment or punishment.
33 Students will be hooded and handcuffed anytime they are being transported. 'Students maybe
transported without cutTduring Early release and Press Conference.

CHAPTER FOUR
4. Security
4,1. The Resistance Training Facility (RTL): The RTL is a controlled access area
Only persons
who have been cleared by JPRA Security, and completed the appropriate NDA will
be allowed
access to the RTL area while training is in progress.' Before escorting an observer, it is
your
responsibility to ensure that they have completed the appropriate security procedures, and have
received a briefing on laboratory operations and procedures.
4.2. Capture site: Anytime training operations occur outside the White Bluff RTL,
JPRA Security
will be notified. Capture operations to include capture sites and transportation routes
will be
planned to minimize possible contact by non-participants. If non-participants are present,
they
should be politely asked to leave the area. If they refuse to leave, it may be necessary to
reduce
training or relocate the capture sitc. If any incident occurs involving non-participants, notify
the
controller as soon as possible.
4.3. Training documents: Any documents generated by instructors, such as instructor notes
should not contain classified information. All paperwork generated by instructors
during the
exercise will be maintained in the student's training folder, or turned over to the
coordinator for
proper storage or destruction. If you are an instructor conducting training that requires
the use of
classified material it is your responsibility to properly store, safeguard, and dispose of the
classified material.
4.3.1. Class rosters, training schedules, and training logs will be maintained for two years.
4.4. Training equipment used during the exercise should be monitored and accounted for by each
shift coordinator prior to assuming duty. High value or sensitive items such as student
equipment, and weapons will be accounted for and properly stored during the laboratory
training
session. Government controlled vehicles will be kept locked and the keys maintained by the
coordinator while not in use.

4.5. Program security is vitally impor
tant during all RTL activities because of the various
groups
augmenting our stair and observing the lab.
All augmentecs will be briefed to at least the Savvy
Shadow level. Savvy Shadow provid
es an adequate level of program information to allow
all
personnel to accomplish their jobs witho
ut violating our customer SAP information. It is
critical
that you keep special access program
conversations limited to those who have been appropriate
ly
briefed. If in doubt about clearance levels
, ask the exercise coordinator before engaging in
a
conversation. Also, be especially aware
of others who may be in the immediate area or may
be
monitoring you on camera
4.6. Student valuables collected durin
g the search will be kept in the personals valuab
le box
located in the control center when they are
not being used. Any classified or highly sensitive
equipment the students bring with them
will be turned over to the laboratory controller /
coordinator for safeguarding. It is imper
ative that students account for all their valuables,
luggage, and equipment before they leave
the RTL at the end of the exercise.

CHAPTER FIVE
5. Duties and responsibilities.
5.1. Controller: The laboratory controller has overall responsibility for the laboratory/shill in
terms of student safety, achieving training objectives, security, and the proper application
of all
techniques by instructors. His main duty is to ensure that students are exposed to problems
at the
optimum rate of intensity and complexity. He is the senior PRA representative on duty unless
advised otherwise. Ile will communicate and work together with the coordinator to accomplish
exercise objectives and problem solving.
5.1.1. The controller will pay particular attention to student reactions to pressures applied
during
the role-play. The controller will decide on the best way to implement student problems
to
achieve student learning outcomes. Using experience, insight, and knowledge of the
needs of the
individual and the user unit, the controller can provide a dynamic learning environment with the
proper reaction to a particular situation within the role-play laboratory.
5.1.2. There may be times when the controller must insert himself into the laboratory scenario
using role-play, to accomplish objectives. If not involved in role-play, he should
minimize
student contact. He should roam the laboratory area to be in the best position to observe
and
make inputs to guards, interrogators, and coordinator. Constant communication with the
user
unit liaison representative and psychological or medical support is essential.
5.2. Coordinator: The coordinator is subordinate to the controller and assists him in achieving
the training goals during the laboratory. The controller must rely on the total objectivity
of the
coordinator to advise him on role-play interventions. The main duty of the coordinator is
to
ensure conditions are present to allow students to learn and to ensure safety. The coordinator
also maintains the laboratory logbook, which contains a record of all significant activity during
the lab.
5.2.1. The coordinator will coordinate with the controller before modifying/adjusting training.
The coordinator will communicate all information to the new shift coordinator to make the lab

run smoothly and most importantly be the totally objective set of eyes to assess the behavior of
students and instructors. Both the controller and coordinator need to work as a team to achieve
the training goals.
5.2.2. The coordinator will avoid being involved in role-play and remain the objective observer.
He will monitor from the established control center. He will provide a shift change briefing and
provide the oncoming shift with critical information using the Shift Briefing guide in the
Control
Center Logbook.
5.3. Interrogator: The interrogator must always remember that he/she is a role-play instructor.
Their role-play and use of exploitation techniques allows a student to experience and cope
with
the effects of a potential captive situation. The goal of the interrogator is to apply all techniques
safely in a controlled environment so that the student can gain from the experience.
5.3.1. The goal is not to push the student beyond his means to resist or to learn (to prevent
"Learned Helplessness"). The interrogator must recognize when a student is overly frustrated
and doing a poor job resisting. At this point the interrogator must temporarily back off,
and will
coordinate with and ensure that the student is monitored by a controller or coordinator.
The
interrogator will then proceed, and implement directions from the controller/coordinator.
5.3.2. Student safety is paramount and the interrogator must be aware of laboratory guidelines
and the conditions each student faces. Prior to the laboratory, students are briefed on their Rules
of Engagement (ROE). A name is given to the students (usually the word "flight
surgeon" or the
name of the ULO) to be used when a real-world, non-laboratory event occurs (such as a
medical
emergency). If you hear a student use this word or name, ask them to repeat their statement as a
way of verifying their need. If a student repeats the name immediately
contact the shift
coordinator/controller. A student who is disoriented, tired, hungry, hooded, and handcuffed is
vulnerable to exploitation. The interrogator has a unique and special role in handling the
student's vulnerability so that laboratory goals and objectives are achieved.
5.3.3. There is a thin line between applying sufficient stress on a student and pushing a student
past the point of learning about resistance or wanting to learn in the future. It takes experience,
careful observation and an honest desire to aid each student in achieving that motivation to learn

more. The interrogator will record information and insights in the student folder, which is
used
for later training.
5.4. Bunker guards: The bunker guard function is an integral part of the overall training
exercise.
In most cases you will be functioning alone and be responsible for all the students. This job
should not be taken lightly. Stay alert. Anticipate problems before they occur and you will be
able to deal with them. Our students can be very ingenious and resourceful. In the past we
have
had physical contact and escapes from the bunker has happened. If you don't pay attention
you
might have to deal with these problems at a most inopportune time.
5.4.1. The intent of the bunker guard position is to enforce isolation. Only simple sywific
problems with specific learning outcomes should be run in the bunker, normally scenarios will be
initiated by the student and approved by the coordinator or controller. The bunker guard will
conduct conscious checks every thirty minutes, and take corrective actions for students violating
the established rules. The bunker guard will minimize all other student contact to optimize the
student's isolation experience.
5.4.2. Students will be kept in the dependency mode as much as possible to help build and
develop the psychological stress of helplessness. The student should feel controlled and
dependent on the captor. Each time a student moves under their own power this breaks the
chain
of events. Students should be hooded and moved by the bunker guard at all times. The exception
might include bunker clean up or (ceding and will involve a minimum number of students.
5.4.3. Students should not be left alone in the bunker. You must be able to see or hear the
students at all times in the event of an emergency. If you must leave the bunker for any reason,
notify the shift coordinator and he will monitor the bunker in your absences.
5.4.4. Students will drink water on a regular basis. The exact amount will depend on the
environmental conditions and directions of the shift coordinator.
5.4.5. The bunker guard is responsible for student -ierountability and safety at all times while
they arc under his immediate control. Accurate annotations should be made in the bunker log
when students leave or return, medical problems arise, attitude problems develop, and any other

occurrence that is noteworthy. If in doubt, write a note in the log and brief the shift
coordinator
at the earliest opportunity.
5.4.6. 1fcontrol problems occur with the students in the bunker, or a singular student
becomes
aggressive or hostile, call the shift coordinator before you attempt to handle the
problem yourself.
You need to be familiar on how to handle open defiance. Sec chapter 5 for "Open
Defiance"
procedures.
5.4.7. Before taking control of the bunker, the bunker guard should be familiar
with the
terminology that the students have been pre-briefed to use in the event of a real world emergency
.
It will be either "flight surgeon" or the name of the exercise Unit Liaison Officer
(ULO). If
students use the pre-briefed terminology, the bunker guard will immediately attend to the
student,
determine the problem, and inform the control center.
5.4.8. If a student calls Flight Surgeon, the bunker guard should attend to the immediate
problem
then notify the control desk. If the problem does not require immediate attention then find
out
what the problem is, make the student comfortable then notify the control desk. Stay with
the
student until help arrives.
5.4.9. The bunker guard must be familiar with the evacuation plan for bunker emergencie
s such
as fire. If the bunker needs to be evacuated, the instructor will use the master lever to open
all
cells and instruct the student to go to an evacuation area and wait for further instruction
s. The
bunker guard will account for all students and notify the controller.
5.4.10. The bunker guard is not an interrogator and will not introduce scenarios/problems in the
bunker unless directed and monitored by the controller or coordinator.
5.5. Expediters. The role of the expediter is to meet students and transport them
to the capture
site. When expediting you usually play the part of a local of the country stated in the exercise
scenario. As a general rule you will not know much about the students or their missions.
Your
job is lust to get them to wherever they need to go". However, you are a generally friendly
person and make small talk, but don't ask sensitive questions. You also need to make the
students feel somewhat at ease because you know where to go and can get them through
checkpoints, customs etc.

5.5.1. When transportation to the capture site is by vehicle it is important that -you
do the driving.
Do not let students talk you into letting them drive. If a student refuses to let you drive, you will
refuse to take them where they "need to go". It is your responsibility to get the students
to the
capture point safely.
5.5.2. The exact detail of the expediter's role is situation dependent, so it is imperative to be
briefed by the exercise coordinator for the details.
5.6. Reporters play the role of legitimate American newspersons.
5.7. Body cavity check (BCC) observer. The role of the observer is to view the students while
the BCC is being conducted. You do not conduct the actual BCC; the searchers will do this.
You are there to observe and make the student feel uncomfortable and degraded. The observer
will not have any verbal interaction with the student. lust act solemn and unimpressed.
5.7.1. A female will observe male students, and a male will observe female students.
5.7.2. No member of the opposite sex will be present/witness this phase of training
unless
performing an assigned duty, necessary to accomplish the body cavity check.
5.7.3. Controller and coordinator will ensure that female body cavity checks arc conducted in a
manner, and location, that will prevent any accidental student exposure to members of the
opposite sex. Only authorized individuals will observe female body cavity checks.
5.8. Media support. The role of media personnel is to collect video of each major event of the
laboratory and demonstrate how video exploitation may be conducted. They will edit the video
they collect into a 15-20 minute clip shown to the students at the beginning of academics. The
clip should contain scenes from various stages of the lab and show each student at least once.
The clip should not contain scenes that would unduly embarrass a student or cause others to
seriously doubt his/her ability to resist exploitation.
5.9. Psychological support: The intent of psychology services support for PRA
resident exercises
is to provide psychological oversight during role-play laboratory instruction. Oversight
is
directed at both student and instructor personnel. Questions involving training procedures
should
be directed to the controller or coordinator for resolution at the earliest opportunity. Psychology

services staftwill not become actively involved in training except where immediate student or
instructor safety is the issue.
5.9.1. If a problem arises, the Psychology Services' person on duty, the controller/coordinator,
and, when available, the Unit Psychologist will consult before psychological intervention is
initiated. If a student needs to be removed from training or needs to be referred to a medical
facility the 336 TRG Medical Service/Mental Health Emergency guide (SGF O1 160-26) will be
implemented.
5.9.2. It is critical to the safe and effective operation of our laboratory that we have psychological
support personnel participate. PRA resident training laboratories are distinctly different from
those customarily dealt with in the basic S-V80-A course taught at the USAF Survival School.
Also distinct from S-V80-A are the units involved in our pre-academic laboratories. With these
variables in mind, we will orchestrate the training in a manner that individualizes the training for
each operator and their unit's mission profile. Controllers and coordinators should keep the
psychology services person on duty informed in terms of training approaches specifically
designed to maximize student learning.
5.10. A medical support person will analyze/treat any real world medical problems. When
possible, the student will be kept "in role" while his medical problem is being diagnosed/treated.
5.10.1.1f a problem arises that is not an emergency, the medical support' person on duty, the
controller/coordinator,-and when available, the Unit 111O will consult before medical
intervention is initiated.

CHAPTER SIX
6. Physical Pressures.
6.1. Physical pressures, as applied to resistance training simulation. are not intended
to produce
enduring or damaging consequences, or to render the student so incapacitated by
physical or
emotional duress that learning dots not take place. The purpose of applying
physical pressures is
to project the student's focus into the resistance scenario and realistically simulate
conditions
associated with captivity and resistance efforts.
6.2. The application of physical pressure is necessary to produce the correct emotional
and
physiological projection a student requires for stress inoculation and stress resolution to be
accomplished. This "controlled realism" must exist for the correct learning to take place.
If too
little physical pressure is applied, the student will fail to acquire the necessary inoculation
effect
and run the risk of underestimating the demands real captivity can produce. If too
much physical
pressure is applied, the student is made vulnerable to the effects of learned helplessness, which
will render the student less prepared for captivity than prior to training.
6.3. Applying physical pressures in an intense, simulated captivity role-play requires
considerable
skill and composure on the part of the resistance-training instructor. This is an acquired
skill
which demands considerable knowledge, experience, and grounding in human behavior
and
resistance theory. Not all resistance-training role-players arc necessarily suited
to perform this
particular element of instruction. Careful training and monitoring of the instructor by qualified
individuals arc necessary to maintain the desired application of this critical education tool.
6.4. The instructor who has the authorization to use physical pressure in training must ensure:
6.4.1. Student safety will always be considered before any application of physical pressures.
The
students' emotional and physical state should be a prime consideration before any physical
pressure is applied. When possible, determine if there are pre-existing medical conditions which
may eliminate the student from exposure to specific physical pressures.

6.4.2. Prior to any physical contact, the instructor must remove all rings and watches.
Fingernails
should be closely trimmed.
6.4.3. Physical pressure must be uniquely applied to each individual, depending on physical
size
and resilience.
6.4.4. Monitor the student's resistance behavior and appropriately apply physical
pressure in a
manner that is consistent with controlled realism, but also facilitates the desired learning
outcome.
6.4.5. You arc not completely objective in your interaction with the student. Many
factors, such
as your own fatigue level, anger, or frustration experienced prior to the role-play,
and other
personal stress will emotionally color your perception of the student. If your thoughts
are not
constantly alternating between how to appropriately apply controlled realism, and
"what does this
student need; how is the student; will this help the student learn," you are too personally
involved
in the role-play. If this happens you must find a way to correct your approach or end the role-
play.
6.4.6. Leave the role-play immediately if the student becomes physically combative---do
not
attempt to subdue the student. Inform the exercise controller and psychologist immediatel
y.
6.4.7. If you suspect a student is becoming emotionally overwhelmed or agitated to the point
productive learning will cease, recognize this and back off. If this reaction continues or
worsens.
immediately consult with the coordinator, controller, and the psychologist on duty.
6.4.8. Follow the instructions/plan of the coordinator his/her role is to be the objective observer.
You can always discuss the issue later.
6.4.9. Physical pressures are not intended to be used in all problems/interrogations. Your prime
focus is to demonstrate the objective appropriate to the laboratory scenario. Physical pressures
should be applied as a logical consequence of the student's resistance behavior, not to satisfy
the
instructor's need. Only properly trained individuals arc authorized to administer physical
pressures during the laboratory exercise.
6.4.10. Only authorized PRA physical pressures will be used during the laboratory.

Authorized physical pressures:
6.5.1. FACIAL SLAP: With fingers slightly spread, contact only the area directly between the tip.
of the chin and the bottom of the corresponding earlobe--ensure your arm swing follows an ark
. no greater than approximately 12 inches (use the width of the student's shoulder as a guide). The
facial slap is used to achieve shock, not to inflict pain. "Pull" the force of the slap to generate the
appropriate effect by flicking the wrist as you make contact. Use no more than two slaps with
any singular application. Typically, the training effectiveness of slapping has become negligible
after two to three applications. Slap with bare hands only/no gloves.
6.5.1.1. Typical conditions for application: To instill fear and despair, to punish selective
behavior, and to instill humiliation or cause insult.
6.5.2. ATTENTION GRASP,: In a controlled and quick motion, grasp the student with both hands,
one on each side of the collar opening. In the same motion, draw the student toward you (4 to 6
inches). Move your face and body directly into the student's personal space (6 to 10 inches). If
you intend to use walling, the hood must be in place around the student's neck. It is often helpful
to place the hood around the student's neck at the beginning of the role-play if you know walling
or an attention grasp will be ticavi. Make direct eye contact as the threat/warning is given.
CAU77ON: Be careful not to collide with the student. If the student assumes a relaxed muscle
position this is more likely to occur.
6.5.2.1. Typical conditions for application: To startle, to instill fear and apprehension, and to
instill humiliation and insult.
6.5.3: WALLING: Walling a student will only be accomplished on an approved flexible wall,
which absorbs the force of the student being walled without causing injury to the student. A
hood (towel or similar aid) must be at your disposal prior to initiating this physical pressure. The
following steps need to be accomplished in the following order to safely wall a student.
Check the wall prior to using it to ensure there are no nails, splinters or defects that could injure a
student. Roll or fold the hood lensthwisc) place it around the student's neck) grasp each 5idc
firmly to include the shirt collar, and roll your fists inward until a relatively flat surface is created

by the first joint of your fingers or the back of your hand. The back of your hand
should contact
the student's chest just below the clavicles. The objective is to support the head
and neck
without restricting blood flow to the head and to minimize the possibility of bruising the
students' chest. Ensure the student is standing straight and their heels are touching the
wall. Pull
the student's upper torso approximately 12 inches from the wall. Quickly and firmly push
the
student into the wall while firmly supporting the studentshead and neck. This prevents whiplash"
of the head and neck. Only the student's shoulder blades should make contact with the
wall.
Push with your anus only; do not use "leg force" to push the student. Allow the student
to
rebound from the wall. If a student is not allowed to rebound, considerable chest bruising could
result. Typical conditions for application: To instill fear and despair, to punish selective
behavior, and to instill humiliation or cause insult.
6.5.4. SILENCING FACIAL II0,LDz Clasp your hand over the student's mouth. Do nottwist or
move the student's head. Move your body directly into the student's personal space (6 to 1O
inches). Make direct eye contact as the threat/warning is given. Be careful not to cover the nose
with your hand. Do not apply the hold for more than eight to ten seconds. Clasp the student's
mouth in a controlled manner. Keep your fingers held closely together as you apply the hold to
avoid injury to the nostrils or eyes. Typical conditions for application: To threaten or intimidate
via invasion of personal space, to instill fear and apprehension without using direct physical
force, to punish illogical, defiant, or repetitive responses.
6.5.5. FACIAL HOLD: With fingers held close together and fully extended, (place one open palm
carefully on each side of the students face) fingertips well away from eyes. Use adequate, but
not severe, direct inward pressure to hold the head immobile. Do not twist or move the head.
Move your face and body directly into the students personal space (6 to 10 inches). Make direct
eye contact as the threat/warning is given. Typical conditions for applications: To threaten or
intimidate via invasion of personal space and to instill fear and apprehension and apprehension
without direct physical force.
6.5.6. ABDOMINAL SLAP: Position yourself directly in front of the student. With your fingers
held tightly together and fUlly extended, your palm toward your own body and about one foot
from the student's abdomen, using your wrist as the fixed pivot point, slap the student with
adequate force in his/her abdomen. Do not use your fist. Be careful not to hit below the navel or

above the sternum. Typical conditions for application: To instill fear and despair, to punish
selective behavior, and to instill humiliation or cause insult.
6.5.7. FINGER PRESS: Using your index finger mica "pistol" position, press the student's chest in
a jabbing motion. The motion should be firm, but not so forceful it injures the student.
CAUTION: Thefinger press is intended to be directed at the chest area. Avoid the breast area
offemale students. Pointing at other areas of the student's anatomy is permitted but contact
will not be made. Typical conditions for application: To instill apprehension or insult.
6.5.8. WATER: can be poured, fl icked, or tossed on the student. The water must be clean. If
water is tossed on the student, be sure you have an adequate grasp of the container and you are
far enough away so the container will not strike the student. Do not toss water in an upward
motion into the student's ayes or nose. The water is intended to startle the student, not a
physically forceful blow. Water can be flicked into the student's face. Water can be poured on
the student. Additional watering with a hose is also available for usc. Ensure that the student is
breathing normally while applying the technique. The student can be dressed or undressed,
standing or lying on a bench or the floor. Observe the student's physical reaction by looking for
healthy skin color and observing a clear speaking and thinking process. Prior to watering
students, refer to the - extreme weather of tions" chapter of the Ors, and ensure that you are in
compliance for current weather conditions. Typical conditions for application: To create a
distracting pressure, to startle, to instill humiliation or cause insult.
6.5.9. STRESS POSITION: Place the student on his/her knees, arms fully extended over the head
or held in front in the same position as used in the Block Hold. Typical conditions for
application: to create a distracting pressure, to demonstrate self-imposed pressure, to humiliate or
insult.
6.5.10. WATER PIT: Use of the water pit in the laboratory will be accomplished with the
supervision of the exercise controller and/or coordinator. Outdoor temperature will be no colder
than 40 degrees. Medical personnel will be in the vicinity. The student should be stripped of
clothes and shoes before entering the pit. Ensure the student's head remains completely above
the water at all times. Duration of this event will only last a maximum of IS minutes. Always
monitor the physical condition of the student, looking for healthy skin color and a clear thinking

and speaking process. Typical conditions for application: To demonstrate the
reaction to
uncooperative behavior. May select a second student to be put in the pit so the
uncooperative
student deals with the unexpected dilemma of having another American punished
for his
behavior.
6.5.11. CRAMPED CONFINEMENT:. Instruct the student to squat down. The student
must keep
his/her feet directly under them and not bent or twisted to one side. Instruct the student
to shuffle
face first into the confinement box. Ensure the student's entire body is inside the box
before
closing the door. The maximum time allowed for a student to be in cramped confinement is 20
minutes. When removing the student instruct him/her to move out of the box slowly and
to stand
up slowly. NOTE: The instructor should be ready to assist the student coming out of the
box due
to cramping and numbness associated with cramped confinement. Instructors are
responsible for
the students' safety and will remain in the immediate area while the student is in cramped
confinement Additionally, instructors will receive permission from the controller or
coordinator
prior to placing a student in cramped confinement and ensure that the student and the exposure
time are annotated in the shift log. Typical conditions for application: to demonstrate the
reaction to uncooperative behavior, inconsistent logic, or to accelerate the physical and
'psychological stresses of captivity. May select a second student to go into the box while the
primary student witnesses the problem.
6.5.12. ,j5-GALLON DRUM: The student should first be instructed to stand in the barrel. Have
the student sit on the edge of the barrel with their arms resting on the edge of the barrel and raise
their legs up to their chest. The instructor to assist pulling the students knees up into their chest
should place a strap under the student's knees. The student should be told to slowly lower their
self into the barrel. The instructor needs to be next to the student at all times coaching the student
through this process to avoid student panic and possible injury. Note: To remove a student form
the barrel, a strap must be used. The student should place the strap under the knees and the
instructor should pull the students' knees up into his chest while the student lifts up with his
arms. The student must relax!

CHAPTER SEVEN
7. Open Defiance
7.1. Open defiance is a situation where students refuse to comply with instructor commands or
become physically confrontational. Always try to determine what type of defiance you are
dealing with (planned / unplanned), this will speed up the resolution and get students back in
training.
7.1.1. Unplanned open defiance incidents are sporadic and usually result from students being
overwhelmed by the training and not knowing anything better to do to resist. This type of open
defiance is easier to handle but more physically dangerous to the instructor because students are
dealing at an emotional level without leadership and direction.
7.1.2. Planned open defiance incidents arc usually organized by the leadership and are usually
less physically dangerous to instructors than unplanned open defiance. It usually takes more time
to resolve this type of defiance due to the instigators following the orders of their leadership.
7.2. Guidelines for dealing with open defiance:
7.2.1. Disengage to a safe distance and notify the control center. A safe distance is dependent on
the immediate surroundings and could involve leaving the building or moving back 10 yards.
The most important issue is to back off and get support started your direction.
7.2.2. It's usually a good idea to remove any students from the periphery to be used as
levers/hostages to regain group control. If these students show hostility or a desire to join the
defiant group, let them go.
7.2.3. If possible, isolate the instigators. DO NOT GO INTO A CROWD TO REMOVE THEM
Try to talk them out. Usually students can be dealt with in-role, however, if that is not possible
attempt to separate the instigators from the rest of the group and talk to them out-of-role
(instructor to student). This is an absolute last resort.

FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY
7.2.4. Locate the senior person and attempt to convince them of the folly of defying us. Attempt
to get him/her away from the group.
7.2.5. Do not try to over yell the instigators. It's a waste of time. Talk in a non-confrontational
tone and try to persuade them to cooperate_
7.2.6. Normally, a group that has defied an instructor should be dealt with only when there is
sufficient manpower to intimidate them. This could be nothing more than 2 or 3 heavily armed
guards. The instructor that was present during the initial open defiance will probably be only a
catalyst for more defiance.
7.2.7. Once control has been re-established slowly apply pressure back on the students. The
students know they have screwed up and expect retaliation. Don't be excessive with the
punishment but make sure that you exact some form of retribution. If you don't, they will
assume that they got away with it and may resort to defiance in the future if things get difficult
again.

CHAPTER NINE
9. Procedures
9.1. Pre-academic laboratory preparation: Should start about six weeks prior to the lab. The first
step is to coordinate with the unit POC to identify the scenario that will be used, number of
students that will be attending, and the capture time and details. Keep in mind the time of the
year when scheduling the capture ha-skuve it should take place after dark. Follow the pre-exercise
checklist to get all the pertinent information from the POC.
9.1.1. The next step is to accomplish a laboratory time line, and manning schedule. Coordinate
with all scheduling sections, and refer to the exercise qualification database when making the
manning schedule to ensure people are qualified, or have a trainer present with them when
performing tasks. If possible, vary the tasks individuals perform from lab to lab so they get
familiar with the intricacies of various tasks, and to prevent "bum-out".
9.1.2. Another task of lab preparation is to gather, ready, and position all of the equipment and
documentation needed during the lab. Follow the pro-laboratory checklist to ensure all gear is
where it needs to be.
9.2. Capture: The most common capture we conduct is a vehicle stop at a checkpoint. The
following procedures will be used in most instances
9.2.1. Wait till the vehicle has come to a complete stop.
9.2.2. Have the driver turn off the vehicle ignition.
9.2.3. Briefly query the driver and the other occupants on identity and destination. Insist that the
driver open the back of the truck for inspection. Once you identify that there are people in the
back of this vehicle then gain control of the students by instructing them to put their heads on
their knees.
9.2.5. The LNO will read the exercise rules of engagement (ROE) to, the students.

9.2.11. As each student is off loaded from the truck insure they get numbered by the coordinator.
9.2.12. Keep in mind that the nature and location of the capture may alter the capture procedure.
Pay particular attention during the capture briefing for any changes.
9.3. Strip searches and body cavity checks (BCC) arc sensitive areas that require strict guidelines
be followed to avoid impropriety or the perception of impropriety: Searches and BCCs' are
conducted silently. A PRA approved observer must be present during strip searches and BCC's.
In addition, the following conditions must be met:

between members of the orazositer,ex except for obvious safety reasons).
9.3.3.5.1. Students will remain hooded except during the body cavity check
9.3.3.5.2. Have media photo any tattoos or sensitive items or pocket Utter the individual may
have.
9.3.3.5.3. Put students clothing into their A-3 bag.
9.3.3.5.4. Remove shoelaces from shoes.
9.3.4. Body cavity check procedure:
8.3.4.1. During the BCC, nft, instructor will physically contact the student except for obvious
safety reasons. Direct the student primarily using direct and to the point word instructions to do
the following:
9.3.4.1.2. Open mouth, lift tongue and run fingers around the gums. Turn head from side to sido
to expose ears. Bend bead down, run hands through hair. Spread fingers and toes apart. Lift
arms above head. Lift testicles. Turn face the wall. Lift each foot separately to expose bottoms.
Step away from the wall, bend 90 degrees and spread buttocks. Have student dress into prisoner
uniform and put on shoes.
9.4. Tactical Interrogations (TACs): TAC should last 5 to 7 minutes and be intense. You are
playing the role of a relatively unsophisticated interrogator and are only looking for basic
information. The following is general guidance on conducting a TAC: Remove the student's

questioning.
Limit your questions to those listed on the TAC assessment sheet. Brief follow up
questions may
be asked for clarification. Spend some of your time disgracing and berating the student.
When
all questions have been asked, ask the same questions over again. If a student clams up
and goes
to the big four, back off and use a little reasoning to get a response. Once talking, slowly
turn the
intensity back up to full strength. If backing off still doesn't get a response, inform the
coordinator or senior interrogator. End the interrogation with a bridge for the student to
think
about "The next time I see you, you had better have the answer to these questions and be
prepared to answer more!". flood and cuff the student, return the student to isolation.
Put
valuable bag in designated container. Put A-3 bag in designated location. Return
student folder
to the Intel person.
9.5. First Round Interrogations: Normally two first round interrogation sessions will be
sufficient
to give all the students one first round interrogation. Prior to the first session the coordinator
will
brief the interrogators on the objectives of the interrogation and give any special
guidance unique
to the group of students. Interrogators will have one hour to question the student. An
appropriate break will be scheduled to allow each instructor to annotate collected
information on
the Intel board and take a break before the start of the next eresion.
9.6. Friday morning feeding: The bunker guard will prepare the food and then dispense it
to each
student's canteen. This will be accomplished no later than 3 hours from the scheduled start
time
for second round interrogations.
9.7. Iso-stress is designed to accelerate the fatiguing prorees and accentuate the effects of
isolation. We want to create an environment where each student feels that they arc
virtually
alone during the iso-stress process. Iso-stress is not intended to cause pain or punish students for
inappropriate behavior
9.7.1. The following are guidelines to observe during all phases of Iso-stress• All movement and
instruction will be tactile with no verbal cues. Students will remain hooded and cuffed.
Physical
pressures will be applied at the beginning of the iso-stress phase. Once Iso-stress starts,
all
personnel must remain out of the Iso area to help deprive the student of environmental clues.

8.10.5. Reporters start the press conference by introducing themselves to the students. Attempt
to convince them that you are looking for the true story and want to get the word out about
what
is going on. Start your questioning with relatively non-sensitive topics such as the incident
details and their treatment. Then move to topics such as family, training, & unit of assignment
.
Then try linking the exercise scenario to what they were doing in the country.
8.10.5.1. If the students stonewall you by refusing to answer your questions, consider
painting a
picture of a covert operation or bring up similar incidents like this that have happened in the
past
and the groups that were involved. Ask if they think some sort of rescue attempt should be made
to get them out. What do they think about the U.S. involvement in the region? You may also
claim to have talked with family members or state department officials who have said things
that
don't agree with what the students have said. Avoid having more that one conversation going on
simultaneously because the students may get distracted or confused.
8.10.6. Controller ends the session after about 20 to 30 Minutes. Makes a brief statement about
all the unanswered questions that we want to know as well. Makes the surprise announcem
ent
that we are going to allow one of the detainees to be released into the reporters' custody as a
gesture of good will. Announces the name (not the one the students chose) and shakes hands
with the releasee. Escorts press and releasee to a hut for a minute of follow up questions, have
press leave, then hoods the student and return him/her to his cell. Guard transports students back
to the interrogation hut and have them change back into their prison uniforms. Repeat the
process with the next group.
8.10.7. Termination Speech: Coordinator Tests and Queues the tape player. Guards put up the
American flag. Guards transport students to termination site and face them toward the
controller. Guards tell students to keep their eyes straightforward on the commandant before
taking their hoods oft Controller gives termination speech. Controller gives the command about
