To identify detainees prior to the issuance of the ISN the capture tag number (DD Form 2745) is used on all documentation concerning the detainee. -Detainees require an ISN in order to begin medical processing, so that tests and medications can be ordered as required. This particular aspect is governed by the MP unit in charge of in-processing. Any computer malfunctions or systems problems can affect how quickly a detainee is ready for medical screening.

All detainees will undergo a vision screening, to include measurement of best-corrected visual-acuity, during in-processing. The screening can be accomplished with a written form or done by interview. If any problems are detected during the screening or if the best-corrected visual acuity is worse than 20/40 with both eyes together, then an SF 513 should be generated.
