3-2. Infantry Support Operations 3-2. Infantry Support Operations
a. Detainee reception operations consist of four a. See Infantry SOP for DMO Operations
phases. Outlined below are the inbound mission
phases:
(1) Phase 1 consists of preparation of movement,
the staging of personnel, securing of vehicles, and a
route reconnaissance.
(2) Phase 2 consists of the transferring of
detainees from the aircraft to JTF-GTMO, the
detainees searched, loaded, secured for transport, and
convoyed to Leeward Ferry Landing.
(3) Phase 3 consists of the detainee movement
from Leeward to Windward Landing and C3 with the
JOC and the Camp Delta DOC.
(4) The last phase consists of the detainee
movement from Windward Ferry Landing to Camp
Delta utilizing Checkpoints for movement. Detainee
Transfers to another installation is conducted the same,
but the process is executed in reverse.
b. During phase 1, the unit stages its personnel and
equipment consisting of the following requirement:
four HMMWVs with .50 Cal MGs, one 2 ½ Ton Truck
and one cargo HMMWV (38 total passengers) from
Leeward Airfield to Camp Delta. The four HMMWVs
will have a .50 Cal MG mounted on each of them. Unit
will also provide one Squad (minimum nine soldiers)
with cargo HMMWV as a Dismounted Security Force,
a (17 soldier) QRF (both lethal and non-lethal capable)
element on the 2 ½ Ton, and a minimal C2 cell.
Initially, two gun trucks and a Maintenance Contact
Team will go to the Leeward side one hour prior to the
main body departure performing a route recon. Once
on the Leeward side, both gun trucks will conduct a
sweep of the airfield and establish support-by-fire
(SBF) positions overlooking the ferry landing. One gun
truck will remain in its SBF position while the other
continues to sweep the airfield. The second gun truck
will occupy its designated SBF position once the Ferry
nears the landing. The lead gun truck will coordinate
with JTF on the flight call signs. The main body links
up with the buses and the ambulance at the Windward
Ferry Landing and proceeds across to the Leeward
Ferry Landing. Once off loaded on the Leeward side,
the convoy proceeds to the flight line. One Gun Truck,
the Security Team Cargo HMMWV, the MP Working
Dog Team, and the last Gun Truck proceed up route #1
(West). The two busses, ambulance, and the QRF
vehicle proceed up route #2 (South). All vehicles will
stage and wait for the aircraft to arrive. The
Maintenance Contact Team moves to the Leeward
Ferry Landing and provides security of the ferry while
docked.
c. Phase 2 begins once the aircraft is on the ground.
The gun trucks proceed to positions forming a
perimeter around the aircraft. One Security Squad
Team positions itself from the aircrafts 11 o’clock to 1
o’clock position. The second Security Squad Team
positions itself from 5 o’clock to 7 o’clock covering in
between the two gun trucks. Correct spacing of troops
in paramount. Deploy these soldiers by vehicle. The
two busses, the ambulance, and the QRF element will
then move into position to the rear of the aircraft. The
QRF dismounts with shields and batons (no weapons)
and forms a cordon from the aircraft ramp to the lead
bus and ambulance. The CO coordinates with the
Aircraft Commander to get all pertinent information on
detainees. MPs will move detainees to the busses.
Secure the detainees on the busses and then the convoy
proceeds to the ferry and loads for return to the
Windward side.
d. During phase 3, position a sniper (one soldier
from the QRF w/ two spotters) on top of the ferry
during the movement from the Leeward side to the
Windward side. QRF provides security (with
weapons) on the deck of the ferry for the crossing. The
Security squad provides security from the bridge side
of the ferry. The Sniper Team will remain in position
until the ramp of the ferry begins to deploy. Upon
docking on the Windward side, the convoy offloads
and lines up for movement back to Camp Delta.
e. During the last phase, the order of march is one
gun truck, the two detainee busses, the ambulance, one
gun truck, the QRF Element, the Security squad, the
MP working dog team, and finally the last two gun
trucks. March speed is 30 MPH. The convoy will
report all seven checkpoints (see coordinating
instructions in the OPORD) back to Camp Delta to the
JOC. The lead gun truck establishes a Blocking
Position (BP) on the road at Sally Port 1 of Camp Delta
as the buses and ambulances enter the gate. Once
detainees are in the camp and the gate is closed all
vehicles will proceed to Seaside Galley parking lot for
an after action review (AAR) and a mission debriefing.

a. The CJDOG, DCJDOG, JDOG S3, CO, PL, or
SOG may authorize the use of OC pepper spray to
preclude the use of physical force by the IRF
Team/Escorts. This will be to control an unruly
detainee or detainees; to prevent the commission of a
serious offense involving violence and threatening
death or serious bodily harm; in self defense; to prevent
a detainee from escaping; or to extract an detainee(s)
involved in a riot or disturbance. Do not use OC to
respond to spitters, urinators, or water throwers.
b. Use the current issue Def Tech Mark 4 OC Spray.
Administer OC by aiming at the eyes, nose, and Mouth
when possible. Use a ½, to 1 second burst from a
distance of 36 to 72 inches away.
c. If control cannot be achieved after the first
application within 30 seconds, subsequent applications
of one-second bursts can be applied. It is not necessary
to spray just a single detainee as the spray can affect an
entire block if the situation requires it, and can be used
as a riot control agent.
d. The CO, PL, and SOG will carry OC. Certified
personnel will only use OC unless directed by the CO.
The sprayer will document all OC usage and the
incident will be reported to the CO, PL, and JDOG S-3
as soon as possible. When practical the following steps
should be followed prior to utilizing OC:
(1) In a loud clear voice command the detainee to
follow whatever directive was given, when possible
have an interpreter present.
(2) Allow the detainee time to comply.
(3) Warn by standers and guards prior to OC use
using a brevity code word or phrase.
(4) Once the situation has been declared under
control, the detainee will be checked by medical
personnel and decontaminated by at a minimum having
medical personnel flush their eyes out with water.
(5) Have medical personnel again check the
detainee for health problems.
(6) Once cleared, the detainee should be
monitored for two hours after contamination.
(7) An IR or SIR will be completed after each
spray.
(8) Documentation of all OC Sprays, IRF actions
and the decontamination process will be done by video
and written reports.
(9) Once the canister of OC is half-empty, it will
be exchanged for a new full canister.
e. Decontamination of individuals who are suffering
either primary or secondary effects is taken care by
flushing the face area with water from a hose. Juliet
block and November block also have decontamination
stations that can be used. When decontaminant is
available, the following procedure will be used:
(1) Spray the decontaminant on the affected area
with the hairline included in this so it can trap the OC.
Do not rub or spray directly into the eyes or mouth.
You will see it start to drip and change color as it lifts
off the OC.
(2) Use the nose to bisect the face. Blot out from
the bridge of the nose toward the ears. Do not rub, as
this will exfoliate the skin. Use soft absorbent paper
towels. This will speed up the process.
(3) Flush the eyes with running cool water after
cleansing the affected area. If possible, blink the eyes
under running water to flush them clean. It may be
necessary to do this mechanically using your fingers on
lids to open the eyes. Make sure you get the entire area
that’s been affected, to avoid recontamination. All you
need to do is to get a drop back in the eye to be at
square one.
(4) If available, use baby shampoo and rinse with
cool water to finish off. Repeat steps 1, 2, and 3 as
needed.
(5) It takes time for the inflammation to subside.
Do not use salves, oils or creams as they may trap the
OC against the skin.
(6) For inhalation effects, move out of the area;
blow your nose and face into the wind. Symptoms will
stop in a few minutes.

5-16. Video Camera Operations
a. At the beginning of the shift, the designate
camera operator in the DOC will check the following
items:
(1) Ensure all equipment is readily available and
where it is located.
(2) Check to ensure the camera battery is
recharging.
(3) Check the amount of battery time.
(4) Check for at least two blank DVD-Rs / tapes.
(5) Check DVD / tape in the camera as to
whether it contains training IRFs or actual IRFs.
(6) Check to ensure training IRF DVDs / tapes
are marked as training.
b. Prior to leaving the DOC to tape an incident, the
operator will perform the following actions:
(1) Check the battery charge level. If less than 30
minutes, take the power cord in addition to the camera
so it can be plugged in at the location.
(2) Take two blank DVDs or tapes
(3) Check to see that a non-training DVD / tape is
in the camera.
(4) If the event will be in an environment with
water that could damage the camera, take the clear
watertight box to protect the camera.
(5) If the event is not an IRF, verify who to
report to and where to report.
c. When reporting to the scene, the camera operator
is part of the team. The video shot by the camera
operator is record an unbiased view of the incident for
others to review. These others can give you guidance
as to specific items to record on video. These other
individuals could include the following:
(1) JDOG Staff
(2) CO
(3) PL
(4) SOG
(5) Military Police Investigator, Forensic
personnel
(6) Guards
(7) Fire Dept
(8) Medics
(9) Interpreters.
d. If forensic personnel are in attendance, report to
their senior officer and follow his directions at all
times. If they are on their way, wait for their arrival
unless common sense and circumstances dictate earlier
action.
e. Unless the scene is still being created, e.g. fire
burning, offense still in progress, etc. Do not just take
out camera and start shooting. Instead stop and think
about what you’re going to do. Get a good and
accurate concept of the scene and its history such as
how did the scene or crime unfold, what are its
boundaries, why is the detainee out of his cell, is there
more than one detainee involved, etc.
f. Make written notes in an official notebook
showing:
(1) Time & date of arrival.
(2) Location details.
(3) Victim details (name, etc.)
(4) Names of other team members.
(5) Times of new events.
(6) Brief details of these events.
g. Plan how you will record your evidence, using a
systematic approach.
(1) Is it safe to enter scene - is it booby trapped,
etc. etc.?
(2) Am I appropriately dressed - Kevlar, BDUs,
boots, glove, etc.?
(3) Which way in (and out) - liaise with O.I.C.
Forensic?
(4) Always use the agreed safety route into and
out of the scene.
h. At the scene, watch for and take care not to
disturb:
(1) Shoe impressions
(2) Blood
(3) Fibers
(4) Fingerprints
(5) Clothing
(6) Bedding
(7) Debris
(8) Objects with potential evidential value.
i. Do not be sidetracked into other tasks by
investigators without first consulting with the OIC of
the scene. Unless urgent, finish off your systematic
evidence gathering run before being diverted to other
tasks. This includes the note taking process.
j. The following are some camera techniques to
use:
(1) Check lighting, is it daylight, artificial or a
mixture?
(2) Should the scene be lit - if so how?
(3) Every shot is important - shoot it as if it is the
most important of the series.
(4) Take your time and plan your pan, don't chase
focus or the subject.
(5) Don't scrub the scene by panning side to side
or up and down. One clean sweep is much more
professional.
(6) Before zooming to close up during a take,
zoom, focus and pull back first and then do the take.
This will avoid the awful spectacle of zooming out of
focus.
(7) Always take an exterior General View (GV)
or 'establisher' shot of the block, building, exercise
yard, etc. This will leave no doubt as to where the
scene is located.
(8) Before or after showing a Big Close Up of an
object, do a long shot or mid shot of it to establish its
location in relation to other parts of the scene.
(9) When covering a long narrow section of a
scene such as a hallway or the walkway of a tier,
consider a slow zoom from a single location and
pulling focus if necessary; rather than clumsily walking
along it (Dolly Shot) with the inevitable, disconcerting
sway and judder.
(10) If perspective has to change (i.e. you have to
see behind objects or demonstrate their separation from
each other), then use of a "Dolly Shot" may be
unavoidable. In this case use the lens at its widest
possible angle (to minimize sway and judder) and
move as smoothly as possible. Again plan your shot -
route - focusing points - etc., before moving off.
(11) In small rooms or spaces (toilets, bathrooms,
caves, etc.) use of a high camera angle from a corner
will give the maximum coverage of the area.
(12) High camera angles are also useful when
separation of objects on similar plains is required.
(13) Aim for quality, not quantity! A lot of
ground can be covered with a few well-planned shots.
Unnecessarily repeating or prolonging shots will only
bore or confuse, and won't enhance the evidential value
of the video.
(14) Think like an editor as you shoot! Let
technique master technology; don't let technology
become your master. The best equipment in the world
will never replace creativity and reasoning.
