Appendix F
DA FORM 1833, ISOLATED PERSONNEL REPORT (ISOPREP)
F-8. The ISOPREP is a data card maintained on all “At Risk” personnel at a minimum. It contains
personal data known only to the At Risk person and is used by recovery forces to positively authenticate
the IMDC person. The ISOPREP is the individual Soldier’s most important source of authentication data.
Its proper completion, use, and storage are critical to successful Recovery and Reintegration and are a vital
part of long term POW/MIA accountability.
F-9. Upon notification that a Soldier is IMDC, the individual’s unit will forward the respective ISOPREP
data to the appropriate PR cell by the fastest secure means available. Information passed telephonically will
be followed up by message. The PR cell or operations center will disseminate data contained on DD Form
1833 to other authorized agencies, including multinational forces if practicable, to assist in the recovery
effort. Figures F-1 and F-2 are examples of an ISOPREP.
F-10. General guidelines for handling DA Form 1833 ISOPREP include the following.
z ISOPREPs are classified “CONFIDENTIAL” when filled in and must be stored appropriately.
z Upon notification that recovery operations have been unsuccessful or terminated, appropriate
entries will be made on DD Form 1833 and the information filed. Copies of the ISOPREP and
other pertinent information will be disseminated to other agencies IAW theater directives. This
normally includes the JPRC and JPRA for permanent archiving.
z If death has been verified, do not destroy the ISOPREP. A directed investigation may require
ISOPREP data to assist in identifying the remains of the victim. The physical description
information contained on the ISOPREP will be declassified and accountability transferred to a
senior member of the investigation team or board.
z The sensitive personal information contained within the declarative statements on the ISOPREP
is not necessary for physical identification and will remain classified.
z ISOPREP originals should only be forwarded to JPRA for personnel declared to be in the
following categories: missing in action (MIA); captured (POW); detained; hostage; killed in
action-body not recovered (KIA-BNR); killed in action-body recovered (KIA); and died in
captivity. The ISOPREP will become an official document in the missing persons identification
file.
z The ISOPREP should be reviewed at least semiannually.
