This report provides Commanding General with report of investigations conducted in August 2004. It finds that the inspection area contains overlapping checklist items from the other four inspection areas and that the facilities inspected did not violate criteria established for operating the facilities. It recommends numerous improvements, but is generally favorable to the training soldiers receive; the facilities; and the treatment of detainees.

BIF and DIF Operations Findings. 6 of 6 facilities inspected did not violate shutdown criteria. 0 of 6 facilities inspected received all "GOs" on checklist items. Evidentiary procedures still continue to be the area of greatest concern. Detailed findings listed in Enclosure
3.
. (3) The IG and DSS conducted interviews with detainees at all facilities. At all locations,
detainees stated they were treated fairly and humanely. Detainees at two of the facilities, 3BCT
and 39BCT, even went so far as to state that the treatment they were receiving was so good that
they did not wish to leave.
(4) There was one isolated incident in which a detainee was transferred from the 3BCT BIF to the 31g CSH for medical treatment and subsequently not retumed to the unit but instead transferred to Abu Ghraib prison even though the unit ensured contact information was provided to the 31g CSH for the return of the detainee. 1CD IG and DSS spoke to the 31g CSH Detainee Ward supervisor to inquire into why this event transpired. 31g CSH said they needed the bed
space and the transfer to Abu Ghraib prison was the fastest and easiest way to open bed space.
This procedure is in contradiction to MNC-I policies. 1CD IG relayed to MNC-I IG the nonadherence to SOP by the 31g CSH Detainee Ward.
7. RECOMMENDATIONS (Staff Lead).
a.
The CG, 1CD, approve these findings.
b.
The IG continue the BIF and DIF inspection program and to provide feedback via a monthly written report to the CG, 1CD. (IG)
