Down to how many steps are required for a permanent scaffold, 10 risers, and how deep the hole for a field expedient hanging should be, 10 feet.<br/><br/>Section III<br/>EXECUTION BY HANGING<br/>13. Officer charged with carrying out execution. The officer<br/>charged with carrying out the execution will command the escort<br/>and make the necessary arrangements for the conduct of the execution. He will instruct components of the escort in their duties.<br/>b. Arrange for the receipt of the prisoner by the prisoner guard.<br/>c. Arrange for a chaplain to accompany the prisoner.<br/>d. Arrange for the presence of a medical officer at the scene of<br/>the execution.<br/>e. Provide a proper gallows.<br/>f. Provide a black hood to cover the head of the prisoner.<br/>g. Provide a collapse board for use if necessary.<br/>h. Cause the prisoner's wrists to be secured before or immediately upon his receipt' by the prisoner guard. The wrists may be<br/>secured either behind the back or in front, fastened to the belt<br/>(fig. 1). <br/>i. Determine the proper amount of drop of the prisoner through<br/>the trapdoor. A standard drop chart for normal men of given<br/>weights is given below. Variation of the drop because of physical<br/>condition may be necessary. A medical officer will be consulted to<br/>determine whether any factors, such as age, health, or muscular<br/>condition will affect the amount of drop necessary for a proper<br/>execution. <br/><br/>J°. Rehearse the execution within 24 hours prior to the scheduled<br/>time for the execution. A sandbag or similar object approximating<br/>the prisoner's weight may be used to insure proper functioning of<br/>the gallows, trapdoor, and hangman's noose.<br/>14. Executioner. An official experienced executioner will be appointed by the officer charged with carrying out the execution. If<br/>one is not available to the command, a professional civilian executioner may be obtained and appointed. In the event a professional<br/>executioner is not available, a suitable emotionally stable member<br/>of the command will be selected and appointed executioner.<br/>15. Assembly. a. The prisoner guard will consist of 10 men<br/>armed with rifles, two corporals armed with pistols, under the<br/>command of a sergeant armed with a pistol. The prisoner guard<br/>will form in double ranks and at the proper time will proceed to<br/>the door of the place of confinement to receive the prisoner.<br/>b. Witnesses, if any, will assemble at the scene of the execution<br/>in positions designated by the officer charged with carrying out<br/>the execution.<br/>c. At the designated time the prisoner, with his wrists bound<br/>securely, accompanied by the chaplain, will be received by the prisoner guard and placed between the ranks. The escourt will then<br/>proceed to the scene of the execution.<br/>d. Upon the arrival of the escort at the scene of the execution,<br/>the corporals and the sergeant of the prisoner guard will conduct<br/>the prisoner to the platform of the gallows, the officer charged with<br/>carrying out the execution and the chaplain preceding the prisoner. <br/>16. Execution. a.• The officer charged with carrying out the<br/>execution will notify the chaplain and the prisoner that a brief<br/>time will be allowed the prisoner for any last statement. After a<br/>reasonable time, he will have the executioner place the hood over<br/>the prisoner's head, bind the prisoner's ankles, adjust the noose<br/>around the prisoner's neck, and then take position at the trigger.<br/>Upon signal from the officer charged with carrying out the execution, the executioner will spring the trap. The medical officer<br/>will then examine the body for time of death and report to the<br/>officer charged with carrying out the execution.<br/>b. Upon the pronouncement of the death of the prisoner, the escort will return to the area of their quarters and be dismissed. <br/><br/>SECTION VIII<br/>EQUIPMENT<br/>29. Hood. The hood will be black, the outer surface of rough<br/>materials, split at the open end so that it will come well down<br/>on the prisoner's chest and back.<br/>30. Collapse board and binding strap. A collapse board will<br/>be provided for use in case of the collapse of the prisoner (fig. 5).<br/>31. Rope. The rope will be of manila hemp, at least % inch<br/>and not more than 1%, inches in diameter and approximately 30<br/>feet in length. The rope will be boiled and then stretched while<br/>drying to eliminate any spring, stiffness, or tendency to coil.<br/>The hangman's knot (fig. 7) will be used in the preparation of<br/>the noose. That portion of the noose which slides through the<br/>knot will be treated with wax, soap, or grease to insure a smooth<br/>sliding action through the knot. The noose will be placed snugly<br/>around the prisoner's neck in such a manner that the hangman's<br/>knot is directly behind his left ear.",
