SECTION IV - FINDINGS (pan: 3-10, AR 15-6)
_ (urvestiganng officer) (board), having carefully considered the evidence, finds: THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE DETAINEE ESCAPE WAS DUE TO THE FAILURE OF MP GUARDS TO PROPERLY PHYSICALLY ACCOUNT FOR THE SIX DETAINFF-S IN COMPOUND 12 WHEN THEY TOOK CONTROL OFF THEIR SHIFT AND THROUGHOUT UNTIL THE END OF THEIR SHIFT. THEY WERE BRIEFED THEY HAD SIX DETAINEES AND THAT THE ONE IN QUESTION WAS PULLED TO APPEAR FOR A COURT DATE IN BAGHDAD THE FOLLOWING DAY. (see SGT Leathers statement) AT SOME POINT DURING THEIR SHIFT IT BEGAN TO RAIN (per 1LT Milligan) . THE TENT FLAPS WERE PUT DOWN SO THE DETAINEES WOULD NOT GET WET. THE -GUARDS AT THAT POINT LOST VISUAL SITE OF THE DETAINEES IN THE THREE TENTS. THEY CLAIM THE ESCAPEE CAME OUT TO PRAY AT 0430 ON FIRST THE EAST SID AND THEN THE WEST SIDE OF THE TENT FOR 10 MIN EACH. THIS WAS LIKELY A RUSE IN ORDER TO CHECK OUT HIS ESCAPE ROUTE THROUGH THE WIRE. I BELIEVE THE ESCAPEE LEFT THE COMPOUND BETWEEN WHEN HE WAS LAST SEEN AT 0450 AND WHEN HIS CHOW WAS BROUGHT TO HIM BY HIS TENT MATE AT 0630. OPPORTUNITY FOR ESCAPE WAS FOR A COMBINATION OF REASONS:
1.
COMPOUND GUARDS DID NOT HAVE DIRECT VISUAL OF THE DETAINEES ONCE THE TENT FLAPS WERE DOWN.

2.
THERE WERE NO SAND BAGS AROUND THE REAR OF THE TENT (CLOSEST TO THE WIRE) TO KEEP THE FLAPS DOWN.

3.
THE GUARD TOWER HAD BEEN REMOVED FROM IN FRONT OF COMPOUND 12 AND SENT TO CAMP GANCI. IF IT WAS STILL THERE, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A GUARD IN FRONT OF THE BREACHED AREA.

4.
TRIP WIRE ENDED WHERE THE DETAINEE BREACHED THE WIRE. HE MUST HAVE OBSERVED THIS WHILE PRAYING.

5.
ALL CONCERTINA WIRE WAS REMOVED FROM INSIDE COMPOUNDS N OPPOSITE SIDE OF ROAD. ONCE THE WIRE WAS BREACHED HE HAD EASY ACCESS TO CONTINUE NORTH THROUGH COMPOUND 1 (WHERE THERE WERE NOGUARDS) NOTE: DURING THE FIVE MONTHS I WAS THERE, THERE WAS NEVER AN ATTEMPT TO GO OUT THE FRO M OF THE COMPOUNDS WHEN ALL THE WIRE WAS UP.

6.
LACK OF USE OF SOP'S. (DETAINEES SHOULD HAVE A DAILY SCHEDULE WHERE THEY ARE WOKEN UP FOR HEADCOUNT IN THE AM PRIOR TO CHOW BEING SERVED).

RECOMMENDATIONS:
1 ENSURE THAT STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES ARE IN PLACE AND BRIEFED. EVERY SHIFT SHOULD BE
CONDUCTED THE SAME WAY
IF MOVED TO COMPOUND 12,SEPARATE DETAINEES GETTING RELEASED VS. TRANSFERED VS. ISOLATED FOR
.NISHMENT.
REPLACE AND MAN GUARD TOWER IN FRONT OF COMPOUND 12

4.
REPLACE WIRE ON NORTH SIDE OF MIDDLE ROAD TO PREVENT ACCESS OUT OF NORTH AREAS.

5.
CONTINUE TO IMPROVE WIRE AROUND ALL OCCUPIED COMPOUNDS UNTIL CHAIN LINKING FENCING IS PUT UP.

6.
INSIST ON PERIODIC RADIO CHECKS SO ALL POINTS IN THE RADIO NET ARE "UP" AT ALL TIMES.

7.
BRING BACK MWD TEAM AND CONDUCT DEMONSTRATIONS IN FRONT OF THE DETAINEES. PATROL AT NIGHT.

8.
IMPLEMENT UNIVERSAL MEANS OF COMMUNICATING AN ESCAPE SO LOCK DOWN CAN OCCUR OFF ALL
COMPOUNDS.

9.
LEADERSHIP SHOULD CONTINUE STRESS THE IMPORTANCE OF NOT BECOMING COMPLACENT OR
"RELAXING"STANDARDS AS THEY GET CLOSER TO REDEPLOYMENT.

SECTION V - RECOMMENDATIONS (para 3-11, AR 15 -6) In view of the above findings, the (investigating officer) (board) recommends:
THIS SERIOUS INCIDENT RESULTING IN THE LOSS OF A DETAINEE ACCUSED OF CRIMES AGAINST THE COALITION
CAN NOT ME MITIGATED HOWEVER , THIS IS A FIRST OCCURENCE OF A PRISONER ESCAPE ATTRIBUTABLE TO
SOLDIERS IN THE 822ND /190TH MP CO IN OVER EIGHT MONTHS OF GUARDING PRISONERS.
RECOMMEND THAT BATALLION COMMANDER LETTERS OF REPRIMAND BE ADMINSTERED TO THE FOLLOWING:

7..At 0.n 07 January 04, it was discovered that
(ISN # 115032) was discovered missing from Compound #12 at Camp Bucca. They prisoner was last physically accounted for at 0001 during shift change. MP Guards (822nd MP CO) guarding the detainee said they saw him praying on the side of his tent at 0430, however, they did not physically confirm it was him. There were only two (2) detainees in the tent. Because it was raining out, the detainees had closed the flaps on the tent. At 0600, one detainee was called outside to serve chow during the prisoner chow time. At 0630, the detainee serving chow brought food into the tent for the detainee #115032. He returned and informed the MP Guards that detainee #115032 was missing. The MP Guards informed the internal MPs of the possible missing detainee. From there, an investigation and pursuit was conducted. It was discovered that the detainee crawled out the back of compound #12 moved into compound #1 and moved through a section where there was no trip wire. His foot prints lead outside the compound and in between two guard towers (190 th MP CO). He proceeded Northeast towards the city of Basra. The search for the escapee continues at this time and he is not returned at this time. Commander and Operation Officers are currently reviewing the incident to determine if UCMJ is warranted for the Enlisted and NCO's involved in the situation. In addition, the BN Commander is considering disciplinary action against

the company commanders of the MP companies involved. Corrective
steps are being taken to prevent this situation from happening again. Each
NCO and Officer involved is required to submit improvements to
fortification and SOPs. We have added additional trip flares to the
perimeter, placed additional wire around the compound and moved the
location of a guard tower for better visibility. Procedures have been
reviewed with all MPs and NCOs to learn form this break down.

The detainee was to be 4n.sported to Basra Airport where he was to be flown via Blackhawk to face trial in Baghdad court. At approximately 2000 to 2030, detainee ISN#115032 was moved from compound 10 to compound #12 by the 822nd MT Company. Detainee 115032 was in compound 12 with 5 other detainees to include 3 Iranian CN) and An
te risoner in isolation. The compound was being watched by SGT d SPC of the 822nd MP Com any. At 0001 on an2004, SPC 111111111111pnd SGT ere relieved by SPC ^rrd SGT 22Ild MP CO) do to normal slu change. The NCOIC
1.11111111p failed to conduct a physical count of all detainees In gampo.tuid 12 during shift change. In addition, the Ws on du failed to use a DA 1594 to log the events for the evening. From 0001 to 0430, SGT d SPC both assert that they accounted for all 6 detainees in compound 12 through various detainee activities as moving in the compound, praying, and utilizing the latrine in the compound. At 0430 on 07 January 04, SGT nd SPC 1111.10111 both declared that they observed detainee 115032 praying for 10 minutes on the east side of the tent and then moving to the west side of the tent to pray for another 10 minutes. At approximately 0445 to 0450, both SGT111111111111111 and SPC affirm that detainee 115032 went back into the tent. In addition, the tent was at such an angle that they could not observe detainee 115032 inside the tent. From 0430 to 0630, SGT and SPC811111111.111 declare that they did not observe any of the two detainees exit the tent entrance during this time frame. At 0630 on 07 January 04, the detainee meal truck arrive at the IF (Internment Facility). At approximately 0640, the detainee meal truck arrived in front of compound #12.

• motioned detainee 11422 to exit the compound area and assist with the serving of the meals to other detainees. SGT further states that detainee 11422 has assisted on this detail numerous times in the past. Detainee 11422 proceeded to help serve chow to other detainees in the compound. Once he was complete, instructed detainee 11422 to bring a plate of food to detainee 115032 who sheassumed was still sleeping as she did not see him since 0445. SGT instructed SPC

416¦11told detainee 11422 to wait a minute. She returned to the front of the compound entrance, placed her meal down and went to see what detainee 11422 wanted. Detainee 11422 was trying to explain that detainee 115032 was gone. SGI L entered the compound area and proceeded inside the tent where she believed 115032 to be sleeping. Upon entering the tent she observed that he was not in his sleeping bag and no where in the vicinity of the compound. SG1.11111ft immediately informed the SOG (Sergeant of the Guard). The 822nd MP Company and 267th MP Company (QRF) pick-up a foot print trail on the detainee and proceeded for 5 milA until they lost track do to the heavy rains. The 267 th MP CO continued to search houses and tents of the surrounding area. The detainee was spotted heading north to Basra by a bystander about 0728.

9. 1111111111111011 WANT TO MAKE THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT UNDER OATH:
This statement is regarding my actions duri4 my tour of duty on 7 JAN 04.
On 6 JAN at approximately 2335 hours I arrived at the Internment Facility (IF) to assume duty as Sergeant of the Guard
(SOG). I met with Sy:wawa the out going SOG who informed my die it had been a relatively quiet shift with little activity toreport We then ensured that all ammunition and equipment was accounted for and turned to my shift personnel. Once SSGshad full accountibility of all of his personnel his shift departed the IF.
After the outgoing shift had departed I conducted radio checks with my personnel on the handheld radios and SINCGARS.We loaded the vehicles with sandwiches and coffee to be dispensed throughout the night. I ween into compound 12 to turn in dead radio batteries and spoke with SGi4111111111. who was working there. She had informed me that she had two detainees in the first tent. No mentionwas made of either of them being of any particular importance. It was thought that they were Iranians awaiting release I then went about my duties as SOG.
After I left compound 12 I began to check flares inside the IF arcamd the compound perimeters. Once that was complete, I metwith SSGIMIMIlliand took him with me to check the flares on the exterior of the IF behind the south berm -and in the northeast jcorner. Upon completion of checking the flares we returned to the IF and SSGalma resumed his duties as roving patrol. I began to make visual checks of the soldiers in the towers. This coathmed =Bed until approximately 0400 hours.
At approximately 0400 hours I met SKANNIMMI near the west gate so he could relieve me ind assume duty as SOG. We
transfered ammunition and equipment to his vehicle. 1 briefed him regarding the activity during my shift which was administrative
in nature beevatP there had been no prisoner activity. He then relieved me shortly thereafter, approximately 0410. 1 then left the
IF and began to prepare to escort a soldier to Camp Doha that morning.

The weather conditions thoughout my tour of duty .were cold with a light breeze and intermittent light rain. Visabilty remainedsatisfactory throughout the shift, you could see the towers across the IF. The tower guards were frequently checked by myselfand/or one of the six roving patrols. The towers were cheriald approximately every 30 minutes./// End of Statement ///

1, 111111111g11111 WANT TO MAKE\THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT UNDER OATH:
On today's date at approximately 0715, I was on duty as the Sergeant of the Guard at the Camp Bucca Internment Facility. 1 was advised by SSG 411/11that SS as calling for me on the Motorola radio and that he needed me at compound 12. My Motorola radio battery was de CaniiiRavsee what SSG 111111111116,needed. Upon arrival, I was advised by
vent to compound 12 to SG'l the com d 12 NCOIC, that a prisoner had escaped from a holding cell #1 sometime prior to mornin chow. I asked her where SSG as and if he was pursuing the escaped prisoner. SGTOMMIPadvised that SSG as checkin outside the West gate to attempt to locate the prisoner. I gr bed a new Motorola radio and battery and went out to locate SSG o see if he had found the prisoner. I met up with SS utside the IF at the berm that is just West of the West gate, SSG as also West of the West gate on foot with SGT checking the area for the prisoner. I was unable to contact SSG r SSG011116 because my Motorola radio battery was not working properly. I was able to hear on myMotorola that the prisoner was not in sight. At approximately 0725 SSCIIIIIMi arrived at my location and I used his radio to contact the 724 IF TOC. After several unanswered calls, I again called and relayed the message several times that a prisoner had escaped and was believed to have run West from the IF. I asked the 724 IF TOC to contact the 267th MP QRF for their assistance in searching for the prisoner. After relaying the message, I started to follow a set of footprints that were headed around the quarry just West of the IF. I radioed to my rovers that I was tracking the prisoner's footprints West from the IF and for them to relay the information to the 724 TOC. 1 followed the prisoner's tracks for several miles and passed by several 267th MP patrols that hadformed a perimeter around the area. I continued in a generally North West direction followin the tracks until I ost the tracks at Tombstone. After searching the area trying to find the tracks, I was met by C and IL who had driven up to my location to assist me in the search. We were able to locate the tracks again and followed them for some time before they crossed North over ASR Sioux Falls. We continued following the tracks in heavy rain. Again, we lost the tacks as they approached 211 Iraqi tent that was just East of the oil refinery. The rain was so heavy that the footprints were impossible to reacquire. We did talk with and search the tent with negative results. I circled around the tent and'attempted to reacquire the footprints but was unable to. At around 1100 hrs CPT had his patrols check the ooil refinery for the prisoner with negative results. At that time we went back to Camp Bl i
ii•rveather at the facility was rainy, and very overcast. There was some light fog during the night. I observed that the prisoner had gone through the wire at a spot where there were no flares and where the fence was poorly constructed. I should have had that area covered with flares and should have put several more rows of consertina wire down along that area. I also did not heck up on the West tower guards to ensure that they were paying attention to their areas of responsibility. / THING FURTHER /
