These emails are generated in the wake of the Abu Ghraib prison detainee abuse incidents involving the Military Police and Military Intelligence Units of the Army. The email states that general Burns is seeking the "Post-MOB training of this unit [372nd MP], not pre-MOB." It also states that Army Headquarters will be the point of contact for all media inquiries.

As we discussed ... Let's not dig into 1A unless asked for specific data from Cmd Grp/G3
Let's focus on moving the baseline ind training thru DA G3, DA G1 and HRC(and TRADOC)...
Also, I will ask TRADOC how they ensure DMOSQ of deploting individuals.

Sir,
Have more folks than you can shake a stick at trying to contact TSBs and other folks
involved in Post-MOB training for 372nd MP. To prevent a problem with multiple sources
and to ensure integrity of information, especially considering the ongoing investigations,
lA is telling its subordinate units and MOBSTAs to forward all such offical requests to
this headquarters and we will be the sole source of this information. This only applies
to Post-MOB training of this unit, not pre-MOB. Inquiries from media sources will be
referred to HQDA PAO, per CG's discussion with the DAS yesterday. Once we have all
applicable information, will forward to you directly. Would ask that you assist in our
effort to ensure accurate information is provided to folks with a need to know.
