End-to-End CPErS Training
Recommendation
CPErS training should be woven into the full range of military exercises and training. Such training should be 'end to end', not just focused on planning and the actual combat side of the operation, but including what happens after a CPErS is captured. Exercises for commanders need to test and train them in CPErS handling issues.
Published Evidence Summary
The following publicly available evidence relates to this recommendation:
The Ministry of Defence accepted this recommendation in September 2011, stating that CPErS handling had been incorporated throughout the exercise and training cycle. The MoD reported this recommendation as completed by September 2012. However, no specific training programme details or further publicly available evidence of this incorporation has been identified since 2012.
