Detainees who were determined to have been properly classified as "enemy combatants" were scheduled to have their dossiers reviewed at annual Administrative Review Board hearings. The Administrative Review Boards were not authorized to review whether a detainee qualified for POW status, nor authorized to review whether a detainee should have been classified as an "enemy combatant".
They were authorized to consider whether a detainee should continue to be detained by the United States, because they continued to pose a threat—and whether they could safely be repatriated to the custody of their home country, or whether they could be set free.
