MEMORANDUM FOR COMMANDER, 1 st Armored Division
SUBJECT: Results of AR 15-6 Investigation on Death of Iraqi National Detainee
1. Summary of Facts.
At 221600 AUG 03, SGT conducted a changeover
inspection of the 1-13 AR (Dakota) Detention Facility and assumed duties as the Commander of the elief (COR). His uard d tail consisted of three additional personnel: PFC
PV2 and PFC
During his insection he
pcount /checked each detainee and inventoried the evidence room. During his check, SGT
stated he observed Tariq, Zaid Muhammed (Iraqi Detainee) lying on the floor on
his
back fanning himself with an MRE box. He also stated Tariq looked up at him and waved.At that time, SGT MI saw no reason to suspect Tariq was becoming a heat casualty or suffering from any medical emergency. Approximately 221700 AUG 03, SGT
PFC and
departed the detention facility to pick up Class I for the detail. During this time,
PV2
and PFC
the latrine, and take a bath. PV2started letting the detainees out of their cells t get water, use opened the cells while PFC
providedsecurity from the end of the hall. During this process PV2 found Tariq
uncontrollably kicking and rolling around on the floor. He opened the door and had two o
detainees carry Tariq to the courtr i
" ar
l. They began to our an rub water on Tariq in an they
attempt to cool him dawn. PV2 directed PFC
to call the Battalion Aid
Station (Dakota Bandaid and with' five minutes the medics were on site. The medics, led
by SGT
diagnosed the situation and determined Tariq was not
sweating an had a shortness of breath. They immediately attempted to administer an IV to
Tariq, but could not find a vein suitable enough to get the needle in. After a few attempts,
they decided to transport Tariq to the Battalion Aid Station for further treatment.
A ro imately 221750 AUG 03 the medics arrived at the aid station and CPT (MD)

and CPT (PA)
assessed Tariq as uiiiiinsive, weak shallow
Frro
eaths, weak rapid pulse, and pupils fixed and dilated. CPT diagnosed Tariq as a
possible heat stoke victim. They attempted to administer an IV and could not find a vein.
After a few attempts, they decided to give

the IV rectally. At the same time they intubated
Tariq and placed him on 100 % oxygen. Tariq's axillary temperature was 102 degrees so they
removed his clothes and attempted to cool him down with fans and water. Approximately
221815 AUG 03, the aid station transported Tariq to the Kadamiya University Hos ital for
further treatment. Enroute to the hospital Tariq went into cardiac arrest and CPT
began administering CPR. Upon arriving to the hospital, Tariq had no heartbeat, no pulse,

and
was not breathing. He was pronounced dead and laced ' hospital morgue.

apparent signs of trauma, bruising, cuts, or ligature marks. After the full autopsy, Dr. stated the death was a natural death, with no indications of physical abuse, and consistent with
a heat stroke. SA
stated the final autopsy results could take up to three months to be completed. Based on the preliminary autopsy results he determined there was no criminal intention or misconduct and closed the CID investigation.
2. Findings,
a. Standing Operating Procedures at the Detention Facility.
1) Guard Detail and shift. The guard detail comes from A/70 ENG BN and consi
ofEENon-
Commissioned Officer as the COR and
soldiers •er shift. After the guards work ashift they have
off be ore t e next shift.
2) Procedures at the Detention Facility. When a detainee is brought
to the detention
facility, the unit and/or the detainee is required to complete an inprocessing checklist and turn over any physical evidence. This includes name, address, offense, and any medical condition. The severity of the offense determines how the detainees are handled.
a) Curfew violators and minor offenses. These detainees are kept in the courtyard of the facility and have full access to water and a latrine. Normally after 24 hours they are released after completing some manual labor task such as policing a portion of the Battalion
FOB.
b Seriou -
After inprocessing, these detainees
This procedure is followed to prevent detainees from talking to one another before the Military Investigation Team (MIT) has a chance to interrogate them.
3)
Class I for detainees. The detainees are given two humanitarian MREs daily. One
is given for breakfast
between 0700-0800 hours and the other is given for dinner between
1700-1900 hours. Water is usually given every three hours, but is available upon request.

4)
Procedures conducted due to the extreme temperature. The detainees in the cells
are let out at least every three hours to get water, use the latrine, and take a bath. On the
hotter days water is given upon request and the guards attempt to let the detainees out of the
cells more often. The influx of new detainees sometimes prevents letting

than every three hours. them out more often
b. SOP within directed lAD Policy. lAD FRAGO 383A (General Order — Civilian and Detainee Maltreatment) outlines the proper procedures to be followed by all
IAD personnelwhen dealing with Iraqi civilians and/or detainees. Based on my interviews and observations
of the detention facility there is no maltreatment of detainees
evident. The guards are doingeverything within their power to ensure the detainees are well cared for.
2
AETV-THT-XO SUBJECT: Results of AR 15-6 Investigation
c. Detention Facility. The detention facility was an Iraqi jail before the war. It has latrines with showers and toilets, but has no type of environmental control units. The lack of ventilation within the one and two man cells causes the temperature within the cells to be higher than the outside temperature. The cells looked like they had exhaust fans attached to
the windows to help remove some of the heat. After the war the facility was heavily looted and upon U.S. occupation of the facility the electricity/water did not work and most of the fixtures were stolen. 1-13 AR has brought running water and electricity back into the facility.The electricity is limited to lights in every cell and only a few outlets. The Battalion currently has a contractor who is remodeling and upgrading the facility in preparation to turn it over to
the 18 th MP BN.
d. Medical Treatment of detainees. The Battalion Aid Station responds to all medical requests/emergencies from the detention facility. The BN PA stated they have to respond to a request at least once during every shift. The doctor and PA also stated they have treated numerous types of ailments, including dehydration, but never have had to treat someone with
a heat injury.
3. Recommendations.
a. On days when the temperature is extremely high, consider removing the detainees from the cells and letting them into the courtyard. The consideration of intelligence lost due the detainees being able to talk to one another before the MIT can interrogate them has to weighed against the threat of loss of life due to the extreme heat in the cells. Recommend this be considered until the daily temperature decreases to a suitable level. If this is not feasible,
then continue the current procedures.
b.
Continue and if possible accelerate the remodeling of the facility. If the contract does not specify the installation of exhaust fans in the cells either modify the contract or authorize" FOO/CERP money to purchase and install the fans.
c. Consider increasing the guard detail from four to six personnel to allow for
simultaneous operations of inprocessing new detainees and supporting the ones already in the

cells.
d.
Ensure the guards working at the facility are properly trained on first aid and know
how to identify the characteristics of heat injuries.

4. Conclusion. It is my belief that no one at the Detention Facility was the cause of and should not be held liable for the death of Zaid Tariq. This belief is supported by the fact that the CID investigator found no evidence of mistreatment and closed his case. Based on the situation and circumstances at the facility the guards took every precaution to prevent Tariq's death. During my visit to the facility there was no mistreatment of detainees evident in the facility. Water and food is readily available and precautions are taken to reduce the threat ofheat in . uries. Based on the statements of the 3r d BDE Surgeon, MAJ (MD)
andCPT
the fast onset of Tariq's condition was uncharacteristic of a normal heat stroke

victim. This is clearly speculation on their part, but there could have been some other medical condition, coupled with the heat, that brought on the death of Tariq. The cause of his death will not be fully determined until the final results of the autopsy is received in three to four
months.
