U.S. Army FM 34-54 — Appendix C

Downloaded from https://www.everyspec.com FM 34-54 suitable assets for evacuation of large amounts of foreign materiel, such as tanks. The process is much the same in the light divisions. However, evacuation of the heavier items will be normally handled by COSCOM assets since the division lacks heavy transportation elements. Petroleum, oils, and lubricants (POL) units establish their own collection sites to handle captured POL materiel. Supply units can also establish POL collection sites. Commanders will test and use captured POL at the lowest echelon possible. Samples will always be taken and sent to the Corps CMEC or TECHINT collection teams.

Class V ordnance, including missiles, is evacuated through conventional ammunition supply points (ASPs). Ammunition supply units will establish their own collection sites to handle captured Class V. It is critical that the CEM ASPs provide a detailed inventory of ammunition to logistical and intelligence channels. TECHINT elements must move assets to the CEM ASP to assist in identifying ammunition of intelligence value. Class VIII medical items are evacuated through established medical supply points, the DMSO, and the MEDSOM elements. TECHINT elements must have full access to the medical materiel to identify items of medical value.

Captured aviation items, especially airframes, are evacuated to either the Class VIII CEM collection points, or the nearest aviation units airfield. All CEM, except NBC hazardous materiel and war trophies, that require evacuation to CONUS are eventually shipped to the Transportation Officer, Military Operations Division, Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD. The personnel, activities, and elements responsible for the recovery and evacuation of CEM are usually the same as those responsible for handling like US items. A good example is the military police responsibilities. Since military police are responsible for controlling prisoners, they have similar evacuation responsibilities for EPW and CEM.

MI interrogators and TECHINT analysts exploit these sources of intelligence along the evacuation chain. C-6 RESPONSIBILITIES THE CAPTURING UNIT
