DA, COMCENT, and LTG McKiernan have agreed to conduct periodic detainee operations assessment/assistance visits to MNF-I and CFC-A. DA is the DOD executive agency for detainee operations. USARCENT is the USCENTCOM executive agency for detainee operations. DA has put together the initial Detainee Assessment/Assistance Team. They've asked USARCENT to augment the assessment team with 1 person each from our C2, C3, PMO, IG, and SJA. Since this is the initial assessment team visit, it's important that the people you select for this task are the most knowledge and experience in the area of detainee operations. The assessment team will deploy to Iraq about mid-OCT, then move to Afghanistan about 29 OCT. Tentative focus areas for members from USARCENT:
C2 - Assessment of interrogation procedures and JIDC
C3 - Assessment of Force Protection
PMO - All areas outlined in our draft message
IG - Assessment of adherence to applicable regulations, policies and standards
SJA - Assessment of Operational Law issues
Goal of this assessment team is to provide an integrated, multi-dicsiplined assessment and to provide assistance to CDRs with meeting established standards of applicable orders, policies, regulations, and international/domestic/military law.
Tasks:
1.
C2, C3, PMO, IG, SJA. Need each of you to select the name of the person you'll send with this team. Provide name to PMO - MAJIIIIIIIIMPNLT 30 SEP.
2.
PMO - Provide all available documentation (policies, regs, orders, ...) on detainee operations to USARCENT team
members NLT 5 OCT.
3.
USARCENT Team members. Do your homework. Know what the standards are for your particular area. Be prepared to travel to Kuwait, Iraq, Afghanistan, then back to Kuwait starting about mid-OCT and ending early NOV.

4111111 am providing two IG support COAs based my need for further clarification of our mission support requirements.
COA 1 is under an assumption we will only need to facilitate movements arid information support requirements, without a significant impact on daily in-theater mission requirements. If this is the case, I will provide support with Kuwait based assets. POCs will be MAJ . (primary) and/or SFCIMIIIIIMIIIIIIIIp(alternate).
COA 2 is under the assumption the mission will require dedicated support that will travel with the HQDA team during assessment/assistance visits in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the period of utilization will extend beyond a 5-7 day period. If this assumption becomes valid, my intent will be to support requirements with assets from Atlanta to avoid impacts on the dedicated in-theater support element. POCs under this COA are MAJ 11111111111111111110.(primary) and/or SFC.111111111.

Gentlemen:
I've had two meetings with LTG McKiernan over the past two days in regards to a HQDA led Detainee Operations Assessment / Assistance Team. HQDA has assembled a team and is awaiting a date to be determined by MG Spears to proceed to the AOR. LTG McKiernan wants us to support and ass'st the team throughout the execution of the team's mission in KU, IZ, and AF. He has directed me to contact COL in reference to coordinating the CFLCC staff participation and support. The attached slide lays out the functions, lead organization and points of contacts for the HQDA team, and it lays out the recommended participants from our organization. Request you determine what your organization's manpower requirements and support to this mission will require and then be prepared to support the HQDA team until mission complete.
