LTG Helmly:
Sir, this responds to your direction on Saturday to the SJA that we prepare an EXSUM for you on the above subject. The attached EXSUM and enclosure summarize what our office knows regarding any actions taken against the MP leaders identified in MGiliara's report. We will provide you with updates as soon as we learn of any other significant information. COL hhas reviewed these documents.
At present, we are unable to determine the anticipated REFRAD dates for the returning members of the 372d MP Co. since individual Soldiers may make varied choices as to whether they will take or sell back their accrued leave upon unit demobilization and return to home station. We will provide you with this information as soon as it is learned. We are also preparing summaries of the known facts (contained within MG Taguba's report, various other Soldier statements, etc.) relating to individual Soldiers to aid your decisions once these Soldiers return to your jurisdiction.
