The HUMINT appendix of Annex B (Intelligence) to the OPLAN, CONPLAN, or campaign plan contains Interrogation and Debriefing Center planning considerations. EACs requiring Interrogation and Debriefing Center should request support from the DIA through the supported combatant commanders.

The Interrogation and Debriefing Center serves as the J2's primary vehicle for processing and reporting on EPW interrogations, debriefings and captured documents of intelligence value. For this reason, the J2X liaison/involvement is desired. The Interrogation and Debriefing Center and the Mobile Interrogation Teams (MITs) should be integrated organization. The Interrogation and Debriefing Center consists of four divisions. a. Headquarters Division: This division consists of administration, finance, maintenance, and supply sections to provide command, control, and support for the Interrogation and Debriefing Center. b. Operations Division: This division plans and conducts daily operations and coordinates national agency and military service activity within the Interrogation and Debriefing Center. c.
