a Technical observers in time of war accompanying the armies of the United States, both within and without the ter ritorial jurisdiction of the United States, although not in the military service, are subject to m ilitary law and are under the control of the commander of the Arm y force which they accompany.
b They are not entitled to the bene fits provided by laws enacted exclusively fo r persons in the m ilitary service but they are subject to the provisions of the Selective Training and Service Act of 1940, as amended, and regulations pre scribed thereunder.
c In the event of capture by enemy forces, they are entitled to be treated as prisoners of war provided they are in possession o f a certificate from the m ilitary authorities of the armed forces which they are accompanying. They will be cautioned that by th interna tional rules of warfare they are required to give only their name and Army sta tus, and that they will under no cir cumstances furnish the enemy with inform ation of m ilitary value.
