PE – The CLP A combat logistical patrol you are leading is attacked. An IED detonates, destroys your lead and second vehicles, and also damages several others. Then small arms fire riddles the CLP. Your unit responds in the appropriate manner, IAW your unit SOPs and immediate action drills. As your CLP members secure the immediate area and begin to clear some small buildings in the immediate area, you notify your Company CP and request MEDEVAC for your WIA and KIA. All is now quiet. In the process of clearing the buildings, your platoon discovers one seriously wounded local national, one KIA, and the platoon takes three other men into custody. None of the three is armed but a weapons cache, ammunition, documents, and explosives are discovered in an adjacent room. When those taken into custody are brought to you, it is clear the men have been injured, possibly beaten. Some of the detainees require medical attention for their injuries but none appear to be seriously injured. You provide a SITREP back to the Company CP. They notify you that assistance and the commander are enroute.
PE – Part I • What is your next action? • What do you do about those in custody that appear to have been beaten? • How would this be different if a female were taken into custody? • Do you have any further responsibility?
