SURVIVAL, EVASION, AND RECOVERY<br />

6-89. Survival and evasion are processes whereby Soldiers isolated in hostile or unfriendly territory avoid<br />

capture and return to areas under friendly control. Personnel recovery is the return of such evaders to<br />

friendly control, with or without aid, as the result of plans, operations, and individual actions by recovery<br />

planners, conventional or unconventional forces, and sometimes the evaders themselves. Evasion is<br />

considered the highest form of resistance. Both evasion and recovery are integral to military operations.<br />

6-90. Personnel assigned to reconnaissance units are considered high-risk-of-capture and subject to<br />

isolation in hostile territory. Therefore, they should prepare for the possibility of being in an evasion<br />

situation. Successful evasion is dependent on detailed planning, as well as peacetime training and<br />

proficiency in survival and evasion and recovery tactics, techniques and procedures. The DRT commander<br />

must ensure his units are trained on evasion techniques. He must also be prepared to initiate personnel<br />

recovery operations if necessary. (See FM 3-50.3 and FM 3-50.1 for detailed information on survival,<br />

evasion, and personnel recovery.)<br />
