Preface
In 1996, the United States (US) Army Military Police (MP) Corps restructured its four combat
support (CS) missions into the following five CS functions. These functions adequately describe
MP capabilities in support of US forces deployed worldwide.
Maneuver and mobility support.
Area security.
Law and order (L&O).
Internmentjresettlement (I/R).
Police intelligence operations.
Field Manual (FM) 3-19.40 depicts the doctrinal foundation, principles, and processes that MP
will employ when dealing with enemy prisoners of war (EPWs), civilian internees (CIS),US
military prisoner operations, and MP support to civil-military operations (populace and resource
control [PRCI,humanitarian assistance [HA], and emergency services [ESI). FM 3-19.40 is not a
standalone manual, and it must be used in combination with other publications. These
publications are pointed out throughout the manual, and a consolidated list is provided in the
bibliography.
This manual provides guidance that can be used by US Army service schools, students, sister
services, and federal agencies. It is fully compatible with current joint, multinational, and
interagency doctrine.
The proponent of this publication is HQ TRADOC. Send comments and recommendations on
Department of the Army (DA) Form 2028 directly to Commandant, US Army Military Police
School, ATTN: ATSJ-MP-TD, 401 MANSCEN Loop, Suite 2060, Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri
65473-8926.
This publication implements Standardization Agreement (STANAG) 2044, Procedures for
Dealing With Prisoners of War (PW) (Edition 5),28 June 1994. NOTE: The DA term EPW is
interchangeable with the term PW used in STANAG 2044. The DA uses the term PW
when referring to US soldiers who are prisoners of the enemy and uses the term EPW
when referring to enemy soldiers who are prisoners of the US.
