During my deployment, quite a few of our guys have been "tasked out" or attached to CJSOTF, or other teams out at FOBs. Sometimes this has broken up team cohesion, or brought about other negative consequences.

Since our actions in OIF/OEF aren't likely to be over anytime soon, has there been any thought given to assigning at least one MP team to the ODB to handle all EC/POW aspects until such time that they can be transferred to the nearest holding facility?

This would be much the same as a CSH has a team to help with physical security and whatever other tasks the commander can dream up (MP=multi-purpose).

Adding a small team of MPs to the company TOE would seem to help eliminate the problem of having to seek resources from outside units and help streamline the operations of the ODAs in the field, ODBs supporting them, and the transfer of those captured.

Just curious.

less than 60 days!!
