INTL424 Interrogation
Week # 5 Progress Check
Interrogation Scenario
1. Overview. This interrogation scenario is designed to provide students an opportunity to identify some key personality and environmental issues which interrogators must take into account when selecting an interrogation “approach.” The scenario is based on a military peacekeeping mission in Kosovo. The information gaps in the scenarios are intentional as interrogators will rarely have all of the information needed to correctly assess a situation/event.
Before reading the scenario, ensure that you have read Chapters 7 and 8 of FM 2-22.3 Human Intelligence Collection Operations, as well as Appendix A.
The assignment is in two sections, which will include at least 500 words in each section. The paper should be 4-6 pages long. Feel free to go over this minimum range.
Section I: Planning and Preparation Phase.
– Refer back to FM 2-22.3 Chapter 7 and to the Educing Information text. What would you do, based on this unique scenario, to conduct your planning and preparation? Be specific…the manual provides a lot of examples.
Section II: Recommended Interrogation Approaches and Questions.
– If you were to suddenly take over the interrogation, describe three interrogation approaches you would employ and the reason you selected them (Utilize Chapter 8 of FM 2-22.3). Use the actual names of the approaches. Do not use “Direct Approach.” Nearly all interrogations begin with the Direct Approach.
– Think about his verbal and non-verbal behaviors, how he was captured, and his background to help you select your approaches.
