2-23. Commanders must integrate personnel recovery throughout operations. This requires an understanding of the complex, dynamic relationships between friendly forces and enemies and of the other aspects of the OE (including the populace). This understanding helps commanders visualize and describe their intent for personnel recovery and assists them in developing focused planning guidance. Personnel recovery guidance is contained in various parts of the order, including the base order, appropriate annexes, appendixes, tabs, and exhibits. Commanders translate the personnel recovery guidance into recommendations known as isolated Soldier guidance. The commander gives guidance for developing isolated Soldier guidance during initial planning. Effective isolated Soldier guidance addresses the challenges of isolation within the unit AO and mission.
