This Article 15 procedure was brought against a soldier who was present during an interrogation of a detainee at a jail facility in Iraq. The soldier was accused of punching the detainee with a closed fist; firing a weapon near his head; and threatening the detainee with action against his family. The soldier submitted a handwritten statement admitting to the charges, but states that it was on-going when he joined in and considered normal at the detention facility he was operating out of. He also make the point that he was not trained in detainee operations before being given the assignment. The soldier was found guilty and was reduced in rank, received extra duty and confinement and a reduction in pay for several months.
