Description
As long as nations engage in wars, or think they can promote their cause through terrorists’ activities, the taking of military prisoners or civilian hostages, remains a fact of international political life. Despite efforts to codify and “humanize†prisoner of war/hostage conditions, the cultural unknowns of an imprisoning power cannot be estimated or predetermined. It is difficult to predict the humanitarian instincts of one’s captors. As a result, the ability of prisoners/hostages to survive is always questionable.
A lesson learned following the Korean conflict is that a person can be prepared through rigorous training to acquire “survival skills†that empower them to face captivity (or the possibility of captivity) more effectively. This training course is designed to help provide some of these survival skills.
The overall objectives of this course are:
• to help you gain knowledge of the history and policy pertaining to prisoners of war,
• to show you how this knowledge can provide captivity survival skills, and
• to suggest avenues of support for POW/MIA’s and their families.
COURSE OVERVIEW: Lessons learned following the Korean conflict indicate a person can acquire survival skills that empower him/her to face captivity. This training course is designed to help gain knowledge of the history and policy pertaining to prisoners of war, provide capability survival skills, and suggest avenues of support for POWs/MIAs and their families.
THE COURSE: This course is organized into subject matter areas, each containing learning objectives to help you determine what you should learn along with text and illustrations to help you understand the information. The subject matter reflects day-to-day requirements and experiences of those who have experienced captivity.
160 pages; dozens of photos, drawings, illustrations and charts many in full color.
