Detainees at GTMO: Present. and Future

•
Holdings enemy combatants from 41 countries (Ages 16 - 90).

•
They are "enemy combatants":

—
captured because they pose a threat to U.S. security;
may have information that could help prevent next attack; and

—
may have committed prosecutable war crimes.

•
More than half of population assessed to be of medium or highintelligence value, or to be "hardcore" jihadists.

— Others are considered "low value," but still hostile to U.S.

•
Total number of detainees should stabilize, then decrease over time.

—Number will increase as new enemy combatants are captured, but decrease as combatants are released or transferred to other countries.
• New Effort: JTF•GTMO and Crimin T k F rce
now haire a dedicated team to identify
"Low Value" detainees. •

GTMO is an Evolutionary Process

•
A "cold start" for DoD. No experience in this type of effort. We are
learning as we go.

•
Constant process of adjustment and refinement. As shciwn, when
good ideas are proposed by other agencies, DoD is implementing.

•
Close relationship with Congressional intelligence committees.
Frequent meetings, visits to GTMO.

•
Joint Staff-commissioned "External Review" completed in September provided impetus for many important changes.

•
In addition to day-to-day oversight, OSD(Policy) will administer a second; "Blue Ribbon" panel review in February to check on progress, and propose additional measures.
