About

FM 19-40 to the armed forces of a country occupied by the United States, if the theater commander considers it necessary by reason of such allegiance to intern them, even though they may have been originally liberated from PW status by the United States while hostilities were going on outside the occupied territory. Particular application is made herein to those persons who have made an unsuccessful attempt to join the armed forces to which they belong and which are engaged in combat, or where they have failed to comply with a summons made to them with a view to internment. (2) Personnel who would qualify for PW status under ( 1 ) above, if the United States were a party to the conflict, but who fall into the hands of the United States as a neutral or nonbelligerent power, will also be accorded the status of and receive treatment as a PW (Article 4B ( 1 ), (2) and 4C, GPW).
