CPErS Meals Guidance

Recommendation

JDP 1-10 should give some guidance in relation to the number of daily meals for CPErS and the timing of them. Such guidance will obviously need to take into account the operational realities, particularly close to the point of capture.

Published Evidence Summary
The following publicly available evidence relates to this recommendation:
The Ministry of Defence accepted this recommendation in September 2011, stating that guidance on the number and timing of daily meals for Captured Personnel (CPErS) was included in doctrine, accounting for operational realities. The implementation status was reported as completed in September 2012, based on the MoD's response. No further specific published evidence detailing this guidance has been identified since 2012.
