Investigation into abuse during prisoner transfer. Finds that one handcuffed and blindfolded detainee was either allowed to fall or pushed from the transport vehicle, resulting in injury as he landed on his side on the ground; that two detainees were kicked; and that the soldiers yelled and used excessive profanity. The abuse was explained by one soldier as retaliation and emotional response for the injuries. Investigator recommends counseling and retraining for the soldiers in question. The report includes sworn the statements of soldiers involved.

MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD
SUBJECT: Informal 15-6 investigation Findings
Background information: TF 2-70 conducted a raid on or abOut 16 September 2003 that resulted in the capture of approximately 5 detainees. The detainees were suspected of conducting an IED attack against TF 2-70 personnel that resulted in the severe injury of
2/A/1-41 IN 1.11.11/11111Pr and his driver. The lieutenant sustained to the complete loss of eyesight and the use of one arm and the driver sustained the loss of eyesight to one eye. The raid suspects were questioned, and the evidence and questioning indicated that the detainees were the people involved in the attack. Avalanche Company report that some of the platoons, including 1/A/1-41, do one day on for operations and patrols, then a down day where they would do detainee movement for the task force if it is needed. The 16 th of September was 1/A/1 -41's down day. On 16 Sep 03, TF 2-70 notified 1/A/1-41 to move the prisoners from the 2-70 holding area to TF 1-13 for further questioning by the 3BCT MIT team. They loaded up the prisoners and moved them to TF 1-13 detention facility. The rest of the events are in question. The report from the MIT team states: The 2%z ton truck pulled up at the detention facility and the 1/A11-41 personnel began unloading the detainees. At this time, the army personnel requested that two of the MIT members leave the area or look away, because these guys had severely injured two of their unit's soldiers. The members of the MIT team remained in place and watched anyway. The process was rough by pulling the prisoners of the trucks and laying them face down on the ground. All during this time, the soldiers were yelling at the prisoners who were zip cuffed and blindfolded. It is alleged that after three or four of the prisoners had been downloaded, the personnel on the ground helping to get the detainees off the truck continued to stand by the unloaded detainees on the ground, instead of returning to help with the last detainee. A soldier waited a moment for them to return before he pushed the detainee off the truck to fall to the ground from about 4 feet. He hit the ground on his side. Upon unloading, the soldiers gathered around them and
continued to yell at the detainees using profanity and harsh language. The MIT team reports witnessin two of the soldiers kick two of the detainees several times in the sides_ At this time, ays that she approached and insisted the activity stop immediately. It did after they told her that the guys did not kill her lieutenant. She then walked over and sat down while the 1/A11-41 personnel moved the people into the jail and filled out the paperwork. She insists that upon completion of the prisoner transfer, an NCO and LT asked a member of the MIT team what was ...Mr rank and who she was with. One of the MIT security personnel replied that she was an interrogator.
s aid they seemed concerned and made a point to make sure the
etainees looked "okay." The 1-41 Infantry personnel state that none of the detainees fell
from the truck and this event did not occur as stated by the MIT team whatsoever. Also,
they stated that no one was kicked, but that a soldier did use his foot to continue to roll

over a detainee that would not remain facedown. It may have appeared that he was kicking him_ They did admit to using profanity and harsh language, and that they were aware of the suspects' crime and emotions were running high. Upon returning to base,
41.111111/10Preported the incident of abusive actions; this resulted in the 15-6 investigation. The conduct of the investigation and findings are provided herein.
2. The findings of the investigation are as follows:
a.
Members of 11N1-41 IN, attached to TF 2-70, did use poor judgment and procedures during the prisoner drop-off on 16 September 2003.

b.
There was enough evidence based on interviews, to conclude that some abusive actions did take place by no less than three personnel at the detention facility, to include:

i. A detainee was either pushed or allowed to fall from a 2-'/2 ton truck while blindfolded and zip-cuffed.
ii. That at least two Caucasian soldiers did kick two detainees in a violent fashion as to cause severe discomfort or temporary pain, not with the intent to cause permanent disability or damage.
iii. That the soldiers yelled and used excessive profanity toward the detainees throughout the operation at a time when the detainees were of little threat (blindfolded and zip-cuffed); and at a minimum, the soldiers did not perform the operation with the utmost professionalism expected of our military by failing to preserve the dignity and respect for our prisoners.
iv. That the 1/N1-41 soldiers were aware that their actions were questionable or wrong during the operation.

c.
The operation's leadership was present and watched during the events, and failed to prevent it.

d.
There were several procedural issues that could have prevented the events on 16 September 2003 from occurring at the task force level. In the future, the investigation determined the following:

i, It is not recommended to have a unit transfer detainees suspected of conducting an attack that resulted in severe injuries to U.S. Army personnel of that same unit (in this case, 2/N1-41 received two casualties due to the attack by the detainees, and the sister platoon 1/N1-41 was given the job of transferring those prisoners.) Due to the sensitivity of the issue, leaders should protect the soldiers from themselves and have unbiased units deal directly with the detainees in situations like this. This includes the actual raid, handling of suspects, pre-interrogation, and movement of detainees.
ii. That some of the soldiers in TF 2-70 may perceive that the chain-of-command is endorsing "pay-back" by allowing the units most affected by suspected detainee actions to play the greatest role in bringing those suspects to justice. The investigation does not believe this is intentional on the part of the task force chain-of-command, but that the emotionally sensitive issue with the prisoner transferring unit (1/A/1-41) may have escaped their attention. It is simply noted because the chain-of-command may want to place heavy emphasis on proper prisoner handling from the

top-down in order to ensure that this possibility, if existing, is eradicated as quickly as possible.
e. The investigation recommends the following actions to deal with the findings:
i. That inlaffiliand ammigfeceive counseling covering the treatment of detainees, professionalism and expectations of the command on future operations, and potential punishments under UCMJ on the events that occurred at the detention facility. ThatiMilli_andiMarreceive a formal letter of reprimand from the command, preferably at the Brigade level With TF Commander present, covering the events of this investigation to be put in their local file.
iii. That all soldiers in TF 2-70 undergo retraining approved by the 3BCT command, regarding the treatment of prisoners and Law of Land Warfare. Specifically, that the command emphasizes their position condoning it without question, and establishing a strong understanding that harsh punishments will be quickly and judiciously given should anything resembling war crimes be committed in the future.
iv. Finally, the TF 2-70 TOC establish procedures to be approved by the 3BCT Command, to ensure that units (Company Level and below) that receive casualties in enemy attacks are placed in minimal contact with prisoners believed to have conducted those attacks.
3. The investigating officer was asked.to answer or evaluate the following issues regarding this case:
a.
Investigate the facts and circumstances of an allegation that TF 2-70 AR soldiers abused detainees upon their delivery to the 3 BCT Detainee Holding Facility.

b.
Make findings as to the facts and circumstances of the incident and whether any TF 2-70 soldiers were abusive, used excessive force, or violated any rules of engagement.

c.
Make any recommendations as to whether disciplinary action is appropriate and if any changes to procedures or tactics are appropriate.

4. The findings to the investigation questions were determined based on the following evidence and statements (findings and justifications paired with questions a-c):
a.
The facts and circumstances are stated in the background section (paragraph 1) of this investigation, and included in the findings (paragraph 4.b.) it is believed to have occurred as stated iniMIIIMIF sworn statement, and corroborated by the other three members of the MIT team.

b.
The investigation determined that it is likely that the allegations did take place as stated by the MIT team. It is believed that one detainee did fall or get pushed out of the 2-1/2 ton truck and fail to the ground while blindfolded and in zip-cuffs. It is believed that at a minimum two of the personnel on-site did kick the detainees in their sides as they lay facedown on the ground. Finally, it's believed that the personnel used excess profanity and harsh abusive language during the operation that degraded the detainees' dignity. The following evidence was used to determine this finding:

DODDOA 027035

AFZN-BB-FAB SUBJECT: Informal 15-6 Investigation Findings
i. The issue of a detainee falling from the truck: stated that when the 2-1/2ton truck pulled up there was a lot of yelling. She wanted to see what was going on, as well as what prisoners were being dropped off so she could prep for questioning. She stepped out from the guard shack area and witnessed the events she stated from approximately 10-15 meters away. Given the close proximity to the situation, her detail in describing the events, she was in a good location to see the events she described. She stated, 1 saw three detainees on the ground and a fourth being thrown out of the truck." (See Sworn Statement, 9 November). Three other MIT personnel on site reinforced this fact. 1111.11111rbf the MIT team, who was positioned approximately 75 meters from the rear of the-2 1/2 ton truck and had a straight line view to the events stated, "he could witness men in DCUs, but not close enough to see detail of faces or ranks" (during oral dialog with investigator, 9 November) agreed with ill" He stated, "Saw one person thrown from the back of the truck." See sworn statement, 9 November). IIIIMIlrand stated that they were about 15 meters from the truck and did have a good view of the unloading procedures. (See sworn statements, 9 November) affir
owalso stated, "Yes, saw a detainee fall out of the truck."(See sworn statement, 9 November) He admitted that he did not see the detainee thrown, but would agree that someone did fall out of the truck and hit the ground while blindfolded and zip-cuffed. (Oral dialog with investigator, 9 November) omit the fourth member of the MIT team stated, "No, he did not see someone fail from the truck," but that he saw them pulled roughly from the vehicle. (See sworn statement and during oral dialog with investigator, 9 November) The statement from alMris attributed to the likely event that he only witnessed the first three detainees unloaded from the truck and was focused on the personnel who unloaded them, who were at this time with the detainees on the ground yelling at them. The MIT team lacks any reason to report any events other than as they happened, credibility and motive are in their favor. The statements taken from 1/A11 -41 are all consistent in that no personnel were dropped from the truck. (See sworn statements, 9 November) However, it is noted that 11A11-41 personnel have the motive to state this was the case whereas; the MIT team has no motive one way or the other. Therefore, the facts stated by the MIT team were given more credibility in this case, but cannot be proven by physical evidence beyond the report of witnesses. IDENTITY OF PERSONNEL MOST LIKELY INVOLVED: The personnel in the truck during this event could not be proven beyond doubt. 111111111Irstated in his statement, He knew his guys wanted to kill these guys so he had the foresight to tell them not to get in the truck and handled it completely by himself, passing the prisoners from the truck to people on the ground. He also stated, "I was in the 2-1/2 ton truck and every one else was on the ground." (See Sworn Statement, and in oral discussion with investigator, 9 November) However, in other sworn statements of gliffrarand hey stated thatiMINWand.were the

personnel in the truck downloading the prisoners. (See Sworn Statements, 9 November) If this is the case, it is likely that either iori 1111/Fivo u id have been most likely in the position to have pushed or drop ed the detainee. Furthermore, it is noted that this decreased
credibility as he stated in his statement that he had foresight to prevent abuse and allow only himself in the truck, but his soldiers stated otherwise.
ii The issue of 1/A/1-41 IN kicking detainees in custody: Detainees in custody cannot be tortured or suffer any abuse at the hands of American forces, contrary, all prisoners must be protected and treated with dignity and respect as per the Law of Land Warfare, Rules of Engagement, and UCMJ Article 128 - Assault. After reviewing the facts, the investigation determined that at least two individuals on the ground, during the detainee operation kicked two detainees while they were blindfolded and zip-cuffed.
MINIIIMMEW(interrogator on the MIT team) determined that from her vantage point she observed two soldiers kicking the prisoners. She said the prisoners were yelling and crying. (Oral dialog with investigator on 9 November) She also stated, "Two soldiers were kicking the detainees in the ribs." When asked if the detainees did anything to warrant the execution of force to maintain control of the situation, she stated, "Absolutely not warranted." (See sworn statement, 9 November) The facts were reinforced by all three other members of the MIT team 41111111111"11111111.ancilMillr when asked if they witnessed any soldiers behaving aggressively toward the detainees and if yes, whether force was warranted to control the situation. All three stated they saw soldiers kicking the prisoners. (See sworn statements, 9 November) 111=11
illertated that he also believed they were pushing the detainees around a lot, and it was not really justified to maintain control. (See Sworn Statement, 9 November) 1111/..rexplained it was difficult for him to see because once the detainees were on the ground, the soldiers from 1/N1-41 gathered around them, yelling at them. He further said it appeared that some may have been kicking them, but it was hard to see through the crowd. (Stated in dialog with investigator, 9 Nov) Understanding that she was in close proximity as asked what actions she took to stop the situation.
She stated, "I first approached the two soldiers that were kicking the detainees and told them to stop. They did, saying, "They didn't kill your LTI" I asked a 2LT ( iidentified by picture during interview) if he was in charge, he said, "yes," and explained that the prisoners shot an RPG that hit a LT. I advised him that they (the detainees) were in my charge. I also advised
that prisoners will not be harmed." (See sworn statement, dated 9 November)
f the detention center for TF 1-13 AR stated in his sworn statement that what he remembered a member of the MIT team saying something about abuse, IlManiattated she was reporting

2-70 AR for risoner mistreatment." (See sworn statement, dated 22 October). was inside the detention center working on paperwork at the time, and did not actually witness any impro er behavior. (See Sworn Statement, 23 October) However, the fact that did talk to him about it on the day it took place reinforces her credibility. Furthermore, the two members of the MIT team stated that they witnessed
1.11111.1Mrsay something to the 1/A/1-41 soldiers, but could not hear what was said. (See Sworn Statement, 9 November) -did not have a direct line of sight toalliliffalrand did not witness any dialog that took place, only the back of the 2-% ton truck. Also, the 2-70 detention stated that he did not witness abuse, but that he did see behavior that was rougher than "his style." (Stated in dialog with investigator, 9 November) Finally, the MIT team was asked to look at pictures of all the personnel from 11A/1-41 and 2-70 present that day to determine if they could determine who was committed the abusive behavior. All four members stated they could not be certain which person committed the acts beyond doubt; however, they stated the two individuals that they believed did kick the detainees were Caucasian. (See sworn statement, illawainy 9 Nov) Lastly, the onI pictures identified as people 1111111.1Mirrecognized for sure were ndair
imrand stated that they were present during the incident. (See Sworn Statement and in oral dialog with investigator, 9 November). During the interview she stated that.as present and that he did not go into the jail to fill out paperwork until after she had come over during the events to stop it. She stated that she then walked over and sat down fuming over the incident while he went inside to fill out the paperwork. Later she overheardIMIMPaskedMillarwho was and her rank. At his response of her being the interrogator, and that he could not tell them her rank, she stated said "Oh Shit" under his breath. (Said in dialog with investigator, 9 Nov 03) The TF 2-70 unit disagreed and stated something contrary to all other parties. First,
1111¦411rstated he went directly inside and did not witness the prisoner downloading operation. (See sworn statement, 9 November) They also stated that no one said anything to them regarding any issues of abuse, and it surprised them when it came up a few days to a week later. See sworn statements, 9 November). However, in dialog with during the investigation, he stated that he foresaw the possibility of this very issue occurring and took steps to prevent it. Furthermore, he stated, "that he asked 2 PFCs in the jail to inspect the prisoners to make sure they were okay." (See Sworn statement, 9 November) The fact that he wanted an outside inspection to ensure the prisoners did not have marks or injury is disturbing because it raises the suspicion that he was protecting himself after wrongful behavior. The behavior in question likely was not aimed at causing permanent damage, but rather to intimidate and cause short-term discomfort or pain. Similarly, much of the 7 personnel interviewed shared the same specifics regarding the case to include someone saying, "You

AFZN-BB-FAB
SUBJECT: Informal 15-6 Investigation Findings ,

guys are square," when asked if the unit was done and the prisoners were
okay. However, many did not remember dialog that took place or what
kind of swearing or interactions occurred on the scene. It is the belief of
the investigator that the unit discussed the incident prior to the
investigation and determined "the one story to tell" so that everyone would
be the same. It is common practice told among combat units that if a unit
comes under investigation that if the unit makes sure every one is on the
same page, nothing will come out of it. Again, this is simply speculation
and no facts can be produced beyond the similar specifics and omissions
between all seven personnel. Lastly, it is noted that the PA for TF 1-13,

ilinimpt was sent to inspect the detainees for abuse. He noted a scrape on a detainees shoulder injury (described as a abrasion) and a minor scalp laceration. The PA determined abuse did not occur at the jailhouse. During questioning, he said he asked the prisoners if they were abused while at the jailhouse. They said they hadn't; however, from the point of view of the prisoners, it occurred prior to them arriving. Also, they had blindfolds on during the.events, which limits their ability to state facts. Finally, abuse may have occurred in minor fashion, and the prisoners answered no because it was simply viewed as rough handling and a few cheap shots. Improper handling viewed by the American Military may be a very different idea than that of an Iraqi whose experience has been the former Saddam Regime. It is interesting to note that one detainee had a minor scuffmark on his shoulder and only one prisoner is reported of falling or being pushed out of the 2-Y2 ton truck. It is likely that the small abrasion occurred during this event. Furthermore, it is likely that all kicks were not delivered to cause major injury. In fact, during discussion withal/111W he said he specifically asked if the prisoners looked okay prior to leaving that day, which leads one to believe if he had allowed abusive behavior it would have been controlled to pass jailhouse inspection and not raise suspicion. it is noted that id not believe the prisoners were abused at the jailhouse. The investigation determined that given the possibility that the kicks to the sides did not leave marks and could still have occurred. Lastly, the investigation found records through the 3BCT 5-2 of the prisoners that were involved in this incident. The prisoners were referenced in sworn statement and are found under the list of 2-70's detainees from 16 SEP 03. The individuals are the following:
and AVM

The recor d from 3BCT S-2 shows that the individuals were released on 19 September to 2-70, except for prisoners 6515 and 6516, who were sent to the Division Interrogation Facility for further questioning. The DIF and Abu Ghurab Prison were contacted in order to find the detainees for questioning. Both facilities do not have the prisoners and further contact information was not available to contact them.

AFZN-BB-FAB SUBJECT: Informal 15-6 Investigation Findings
The issue of abusive language and improper conduct toward detainees:
The investigation found that all parties agreed that there was a lot of
swearing and yelling toward the detainees during the unloading procedures
at the TF 1-13 detention facility. (See all sworn statements, 9 November)
Under UCMJ, Article 134 - Threat Communicating, the regulation states,
"That the accused communicated certain language expressing a present
determination or intent to wrongfully injure the person, property, or
reputation of another person, presently or in the future. That the
communication was known to the person, and that the communication was
wrongful. Finally that, under the circumstances, the conduct of the
accused was to the prejudice of good order and discipline in the armed
forces or was of a nature to bring discredit upon the armed forces." (UCMJ,
110. Article 134 — (Threat Communicating). Given the already rough treatment, it is the belief that the threat was communicated and enhanced by the unprofessional nature of dialog directed toward the prisoners. The detainees were all blindfolded and zip-cuffed. They did not present a threat to the ten 2-70 personnel on site The need for further intimidation, scare tactics, or verbal abuse was unwarranted for mission accomplishment. The United States Army states on its rules of engagement card, "Conduct yourself with dignity and honor." (Rules of engagement card) The investigation believes that the verbal tactics used at the detention center violated this aspect of ROE. The fact was enhanced during spoken dialog with ho stated, "Yes, common swear words were used," and spelled it capital letters on his sworn statement regarding whether it was common practice to yell at prisoners after arrest. He further stated that the prisoners were suspected of wounding men from his unit, hell yes he was.swearing and yelling at them. He further stated, that was how he did business, and he was not trained for peacekeeping missions. He was here (Iraq) for the war and if they wanted peacekeepers they could send him home, and replace his unit with units trained as peacekeeping! He wasn't going to change his tactics regarding swearing at detainees or using forceful tactics when handling prisoners. (Verbal dialog with investigator, 9 November).
