Unfortunately, without more information it is impossible to answer your question accurately. However, it seems you have a query about personnel who have been in some way lost in an operational environment such as a war zone. Examples of these personnel include military members, civilians, contractor personnel and other personnel members designated to duties by either the Secretary of Defense in the US or the American president himself. These personnel will be classed as IMDC personnel if they have been isolated, are missing, have been detained and have been captured. It can be seen that IMDC is an acronym for 'Isolated; Missing; Detained; Captured'. These methods of being lost in some way are described in more detail below.
In some cases, an individual may have been imprisoned by the offensive side, although not in such a way that they will not be able to soon be granted release. In this case, the personnel member will be classed as being detained. If it is known the other side does not plan to release the individual and upon request refuses to, the person will be classed as captured. Efforts will be made to recover the person without compromising the position of others or the success of the mission at hand.
