Statement by a non-commisioned officer in chargec (NCOIC) who processed detainees after they were captured by Coalition Forces. "At first, I didn't look closely for injuries when detainees were in-processed. After a while, I was concerned and began to take notice of various injuries ... we started paying close attention to detainees physical condition during inprocessing because detainees were complaining a lot about excessive force being used during there capture." "I saw on one occasion detainee who had suffered broken ribs and a fracture to one of his arms, on another occasion I received one detainee who had received a bullet wound to his forearm and hand." "It is hard to identify any particular unit that was worse than others. However, I would say that [redacted]. This may be because they were more heavily involved in operations to capture or kill insurgents than any other unit."

In December 2003. I was a 144COIC• for the3Oist FSB. let Ref. BSA...During my deployment to hag. I welted both day:1'1**nd Oldshiti. My duties included in-proasuingdetainees attic BSA and to for detainees during their stay it our facility 411111111.1M were also NCOICs during this tine.
At first I didn't luck closely for injuries when detainees were in-processed. Alterstwhile. I was concerned and began to take notice of various injuries because we were providing medical care for detainees once they arrived at our facility. Among the i ''uriea,i sew in one occasion a detainee who had suffered broken ribs end a fracture to one of hisanns, on another occasion i received one detainee who had received a bullet wound to his forearm and hand. I also noticed abrasions on detainees' wrists as a result of their zip euffs being too tight. In the case Mille indiv ingot with the gun shot wounds.howeem. there was indication that he had been treated
We started paying close attention to detainees physical condition during inprocessing because detainees were complaining slot aboutexcessive forte being used during there capture. Sometimes seemed like detainees were complaining shout Igiurie* that had their capture. I was not involved in the capture of detainees. I have no idea if any of the injuries.or bruises i saw west&ring capture or In detention or wok,. preceded capture. . .
detainees complained about being beaten during detention. Most complained that they were captured by Iraqi police and • beaten by them before being brought to a Coalition holding facility. However. sometimes they complained about Catlike forcesbeating or mistreating them. I cannot mail seeing or hearing about any specific instances relating to certain Coalidon units or
specific detainees.
Detainees were transferred nut f units. It is hand to an particular unit that was worse than others. However. I would say that This may haw been because they were
more heavily Involved in
rations to capture or kill insurgents than any other unit. c) °IttAl
