Details: The Military Liaison and Detainee Unit (MLDU) was formed as
a unit within CTD and -tasked'to oversee the FBI mission in Afghanistan
and GTMO. In the early stages of .the FBI presence in Afghanistan, the
* FBI's role. primarily focused on interviews of Al Qeada (AQ) and
Taliban (TB) detainees captured by-coalition forces.• However, the FBI ' '
mission has evolved and expanded -to its present form which is . •
primarily the collection of- •ctionable threat intelligence which may .
have a possible nexus to the United States, its citizens-and
interests. This.primary goal - remains in line with the FBI's top ..bi
priority to prevent acts of terror against the U.S., its citizens and
interests The current mission incorporates a stafftng level of _, b2

'the FBI mission in Afghanistan and the risk our personnel are exposed
to in fulfilling that mission. ,One.of the recommendations made by the
AAT was to.provide a more comprehensive and realistic training program
for all personnel'prior to deployment to Afghanistan.
MLDU has worked in conjunction.with CTD Executive Staff to
develop a comprehensive training plan which can be provided to all
Field Office, and FBIHQ personnel who deploy tia-Afghanistan throughout
the year: A central training objective is the desire to make the
training mission-specific to the needs of FBI agents and support
personnel ;deploying to Afpanistan. - Furthermore, this training is to
be.distinCt from the training currently offered to FBI personnel
deploying to Iraq for two reasons:'FBITersohnel in Afghanistan often
operate as'tart , o-f-military.units widelyldispersed throughout the
• - theater. -They:are also tasked with abroad range Of responsibilitieS
to include, the investigations of na attacks against U.•S..personnel,
Foreign Police training, and assistance to the U.S. military on •
missions where a clearly definedcounterterrorism nexus exists.
• Based on the proposed practical training prOgram, MLDU has •
identified Catp.yilliamsi_Utah as the .location best .suited to meet
training objectives.

advised that the'Quantico ranges could not accommodate the type 'of
firearms training requested for Afghanistan personnel which included-,
.223 firearms drills,' ConVoy•protection and shoOting.under low light
conditions (many SSE's are conducted in'the early morning hours with'
limited day light). • -

.City Division ASAC Kevin•Fryslie. ASAC Fryslie advised that Salt 'Lake
•City wouldbe willing to host the proposed training'as well as- provide "
logistical support.
•
There are several-factors behind the selection of Camp'
Williams for the Afghanistan pre deployment training:
• Camp Williams is the home•base for the U.S. Army 19th
Special Forces Group (SFG): The 19th SFG has deployed 'to .
Afghanistan. FBI personnel often work in concert with SF
personnel in Afghanistan and a familiarity with SF
operations is essential.
