About this Item
US Army manuals on counterintelligence, interrogation, and combat. FM 30-17 Counterintelligence Operations, FM 30-15 Intelligence Interrogation, FM 30-5 Combat Intelligence, and the Fort Huachuca subcourse Counterintelligence Investigations trace the Army's printed intelligence doctrine from January 1972 to June 1989. The sequence begins after the Army established Military Intelligence as a distinct professional branch in 1962 and after the Military Intelligence Corps relocated its school to Fort Huachuca in 1971. By 1989, the printed curriculum had shifted from broad field doctrine toward formal professional instruction for Counterintelligence Special Agents at the U.S. Army Intelligence Center and School. FM 30-17 indexes topics including "Rights," "Witness," "Wiretapping," and the "U.S. Army Security Agency"; FM 30-15 appends the 1949 Geneva Conventions and states that coercion is neither acceptable nor effective. 1972-1989, Washington, D.C. and Fort Huachuca, Arizona. Archive of 4 military intelligence training publications: three Headquarters, Department of the Army field manuals and one Army Intelligence Center and School correspondence-course subcourse, all in original printed wrappers and stapled or punched for binder storage. [1] United States Department of the Army. FM 30-17 Counterintelligence Operations. Washington, D.C.: Headquarters, Department of the Army, January 1972. Issued under the printed authority of General W. C. Westmoreland and Adjutant General Verne L. Bowers, the manual sets out the Army's investigative framework for sworn statements, interrogations, surveillance, audio surveillance, surreptitious entry, false documentation, secret writing, and polygraph procedure. [2] United States Department of the Army. FM 30-15 Intelligence Interrogation. Washington, D.C.: Headquarters, Department of the Army, June 1973. Sets forth doctrine for Army intelligence interrogations of non-U.S. personnel, prohibits physical or mental torture, coercion, and threats, and reproduces the 1949 Geneva Conventions in Appendix E. [3] United States Department of the Army. FM 30-5 Combat Intelligence. Washington, D.C.: Headquarters, Department of the Army, October 1973. Issued the year of final U.S. combat withdrawal from Vietnam, the manual expands combat intelligence into "cold war," "limited war," "general war," and "stability operations," with sections on civilian sources, insurgent intelligence collection, rear-area sabotage and terrorist threats, and counterintelligence planning. [4] United States Army Intelligence Center and School. Counterintelligence Investigations. Subcourse IT 0735, Edition 9. Fort Huachuca, Arizona: Army Institute for Professional Development, Army Correspondence Course Program, June 1989. A six-credit-hour professional course for the Counterintelligence Special Agent, covering doctrine for initiating CI cases, procedures for selected CI investigations, and techniques for handling physical evidence. The group follows the Army's post-1962 effort to professionalize intelligence as a branch and concentrate its training system at Fort Huachuca after the 1971 move from Fort Holabird. FM 30-15 (1973) is the Army's printed, official position that torture and coercion are prohibited, with the Geneva Conventions reproduced in full. That manual was the governing interrogation doctrine on paper through the early 2000s. It's the document that the post-9/11 interrogation debates, the 2002 OLC memos, and Abu Ghraib were measured against. Owning the actual printed doctrinal manual that says "coercion is neither acceptable nor effective" is the headline. One booklet is missing its rear cover, and one volume contains annotations throughout. Overall good condition. The 1972 and 1973 manuals set out combat collection, interrogation, surveillance, evidence, and counterintelligence support in cold war and stability operations; the 1989 Huachuca subcourse narrows that material into school-based instruction for case initia.
