1. SITUATION
a. Enemy. See Annex B.
b. Friendly. Real-time evaluation of captured equipment to identify modification, determine
weapons effectiveness, exploit documents or identify country of origin can have significant impact on the
development of new tactics. INSCOM’s Foreign Materiel Intelligence Battalion (FMIB) of the 800th MI
Brigade is the second active element in DOD providing battlefield technical intelligence support. This
unit can be deployed to form the core of the Joint Captured Materiel Center (JCMEC), providing
collection management, dissemination and handling of material purposefully not turned over to the
South Korean Government for shipment to CONUS for further exploitation.
c. ASSUMPTIONS
(1) Recovery of enemy equipment during military operations is a national as well as
theater requirement. The JTF Korea J2 will plan for the establishment of a JCMEC to manage recovery,
exploitation, and disposal of Captured Enemy Equipment (CEE).
(2) The COMJTF Korea and subordinate commands will provide JCMEC and EOD
personnel with access to captured materiel collection points and CEE.
(3) Subordinate commanders will develop procedural instructions to ensure that acquired
foreign materiel is properly protected and fully exploited by qualified personnel.

(4) COMJTF Korea will establish procedures to turn over captured weapons, munitions,
documents, and equipment that are not required for further exploitation to the South Korean
Government.
2. MISSION. Establish the procedures and tasks governing intelligence exploitation, assessment and
disposition of captured enemy equipment, documents, and material.
3. EXECUTION
a. Concept of Operations
(1) CEE will be evacuated to theater /component collection points for technical
intelligence screening and evaluation for further use.
(2) Enemy material captured by US military personnel becomes the property of the
United States Government and must be protected from theft or recapture. Destruction and/or
abandonment of CEE will not be unilaterally taken without concurrence and direction of the JTF Korea J2
unless dictated by combat conditions.
(3) The JCMEC will deploy with GENSER JDISS.
(4) CEE excess to US needs will be evacuated through logistic channels to the theater
Defense Reutilization Marketing Office (DRMO). This office will determine excess to be turned over to the
Government of South Korea. Procedures established for turn-in of US equipment to DRMO will be used
for the disposal of excess CEE. DRMO will dispose of excess items in accordance with the DOD Manual
4160.21-M, March 1990, “Defense Reutilization and Marketing Manual,” and DOD Manual 4160.21-M-1,
October 1991, “Defense Demilitarization Manual.
