During a detainee ground transfer, which personnel are responsible for the detainee's restraints?

In the context of detainee ground transfers, healthcare personnel are typically not responsible for the detainee's restraints. Instead, the primary responsibility for managing and applying restraints falls to military police. Their role includes ensuring that detainees are securely restrained for safety and security during transfers, thereby preventing escapes and potential harm to both detainees and personnel involved.

Military police receive specialized training in handling detainees, including the proper application of restraints and the legal and ethical considerations surrounding the treatment of detainees. This training equips them to manage detainee transfers effectively, ensuring adherence to legal standards and operational protocols.

While healthcare personnel play a crucial role in monitoring the health and well-being of detainees during transfers, their primary focus is on medical care rather than security measures like restraints. Therefore, military police are the correct personnel responsible for this aspect of detainee management during transfers.
