Battlefield Forensics

Collecting and processing forensic material on the battlefield is a task normally performed by military investigators during garrison law enforcement operations and by specialized crime scene teams in civilian law enforcement. It is also done by deployed soldiers in situations involving friendly fire, attacks on civilians, and civilian terrorism. This book trains military personnel to collect forensic material on the battlefield, showing how to prioritize evidence on an objective and how to protect, document, preserve, collect, and transport forensic material expeditiously and safely.
