Which team is responsible for Enemy Prisoners of War in convoy protection?

• A. EPW Team
• B. Aid & Litter
• C. Landing Zone Team
• D. Maintenance & Recovery

Answer: (A)

In convoy protection, one team is dedicated to Enemy Prisoners of War. Their duties are to guard, account for, and transport EPWs, ensuring custody and safety while adhering to the proper handling procedures and laws. This team isolates prisoners from the rest of the convoy and from medical or maintenance activities, maintaining a clear chain of custody and coordinating with higher echelons for processing or movement to rear facilities. Aid & Litter handles casualties, not prisoners. The Landing Zone Team secures and organizes areas for landing operations, not detainee handling. Maintenance & Recovery focuses on vehicle repair and recovery, not EPW management.
