Synopsis as published on the index

This directive’s OPR (sponsor) has been transferred from PP&O to I&L. Detention spaces and holding cells are used to temporarily detain personnel apprehended by military authorities or turned over to the military by civilian authorities. Persons may be detained only if there are reasonable grounds to believe a criminal offense has been or is being committed and the person to be detained committed or is committing the offense. Under no circumstances may an individual be placed in detention for protective custody or safekeeping. While under escort by cross-country chasers, individuals may be detained for further transport (FFT). Administrative disciplinary measures contained in reference (a) are not applicable to holding cells and detention spaces.
