Soldiers at Camp Tracy deliberately planned and executed interrogations within the law of war and Geneva Convention, we able to find specific tactics, techniques, and procedures that can be used today. The book is written in a very logical and easy to understand manner allowing the reader to gain a deeper insight into strategic level interrogations operations done during World War II. His ability to seamlessly blend the operations at Camp Tracy with applications for today’s War on Terror makes this book a must read for anyone interested in the use and execution of interrogations to achieve our national objectives. It should be on every professional reading list. Corbin’s work provides critical lessons learned and best practices use that can be directly applied in today’s era of persistent conflict. The most important lesson, as recognized early by the Office of Naval Intelligence, is that the most critical part of any interrogation process is selecting the right interrogators and is a hard lesson we continue to relearn in each conflict, including most recently in Iraq and Afghanistan. In order to accomplish this, the Office of Naval Intelligence applied strict selection requirements that could be used today. An example of a best practice that led to the success of Camp Tracy was the stringent, multilevel screening process that was used to determine the prisoners of war to be interrogated at Camp Tracy, ensuring that the selected prisoners produced the greatest probability of success. Other best practices include cultural awareness of the detainees, using people of common background, remaining courteous, constant observation in order to use behaviors or weaknesses later, and team work between interrogation teams. Based on the success at Camp Tracy and Corbin’s comparison to current operations, the reader gains insight into how a successful strategic interrogation program can be run without violating the rules of war, or the Geneva Convention. Corbin’s logical and easy to follow writing style enhances the reader’s ability to rapidly assimilate the concepts presented leading the reader to an answer about “how can the U.S. obtain the requisite information from a foreign and hostile enemy while abiding by the law and without further alienating the international community.” So the reader can better understand the topic and comparison, he provides an in depth historical background to the topic that includes comparison between radical Japanese and Islamic fundamentalists, and the operations at Camp Tracy. The book then flows into the interrogation and findings from the case study. Additionally, the appendixes include an actual outline for interrogations and an interrogation packet from Camp Tracy. All of these factors combine to allow the reader to get the most from this case study of strategic interrogation. The History of Camp Tracy: Japanese WWII POWs and the Future of Strategic Interrogation is a must read for anyone trying to understand how we can gain critical intelligence while remaining within the law of war and the Geneva Convention. Corbin’s indepth analysis of operations at Camp Tracy, comparisons to recent actions in Operation Enduring Freedom, and the lessons learned provide the reader many best practices that can have far reaching positive effects in this era of persistent conflict. This is a must read for anyone interested in wartime interrogation. Reviewed by Lieutenant Colonel John D. Nawoichyk 82 Military Intelligence

The University of Military Intelligence (UMI) is a training portal of MI courses maintained by the U.S. Army Intelligence Center of Excellence (USAICoE) at Fort Huachuca, Arizona for use by authorized military (Active, Reserve, National Guard) and non-military (e.g., DOD civilian, Department of Homeland Security, other U.S. Government agencies) personnel. UMI provides many self-paced training courses, MOS training, and career development courses. In addition, the UMI contains a Virtual Campus that is available to users with an abundance of Army-wide resources and links related to MI: language training, cultural awareness, resident courses, MI Library, functional training, publications, and more. UMI is undergoing improvement and expansion to become available for any approved MI courses (from any U.S. Army MI source) that are designed to be offered as Distributed Learning (dL) via the UMI technologically advanced online delivery platform(s). UMI online registration is easy and approval of use normally takes only a day or two after a user request is submitted. Go to http://www.universityofmilitaryintelligence.army.mil, read and accept the standard U.S. Government Authorized Use/Security statement, and then follow the instructions to register or sign in.
