EnE DfEIC!f:1 USE ONLY

(Raw notes from an internal informal investigation after an operation directed BCTwide early Sep 03' in order to try and capture HVTreportedly transiting from Iraq to Syria-After the investigation was complete­implemented changes recommended and conducted training with the soldiers involved.)
These were some of the reports from detainees when released.
They were not given food and water
Were not allowed to go to the bathroom
Money lost
Lost rings
Lost cell phones

From observation:
Individuals were very cooperative Cuts on wrist from cuffs Belongings were mixed in a box and not sorted accurately Lost passports (2) Some persons were older than 40, few were 50 or 60 One individual was on permanent crutches due to one disfigured leg Some persons were merchants from Syria, (2 semi trucks confiscated) One gentleman from PDK with PDK ID One trucker from Turkey with truck that says Turkey Many show worry they will be treated this way again going through this area. Some individuals were from Rabiah area and other parts ofIraq. Some owned business in Syria and Iraq.
Assessment:
This action will have impact in our AO. The last four months, the Rabiah area has developed a
reputation, one that is good. The area is peaceful, offering jobs and where Coalition Forces respect and
care for the people. Merchants have no problems getting through with their merchandise. They see it as a
chanced to make money; perhaps reinforcing that A~erica is the land of opportunity. The impact of four
months is apparent as Rabiah used to be much, much more quiet. Now, the civic center is busy everyday.
The customs house is crowded with business. The roads are crowded with semis. This action will
encourage suspicion and distrust in the people and merchants through the area. Coalition forces will be
seen as outsiders. Outside threats have a better chance of existing in the AO. Merchants may seek other
routes (Harbor Gate) fearing that one day they may not make it home. This will stifle economic growth in
the region. The actions over the last few days by coalition forces have created a ripple in the trust
developed between the people in the Rabiah sub-district and U.S. forces. This is not in line with the 10
theme we portray. Local populace will start to relate our actions to that of the previous regime.

Recommendations:
-Higher must give better indicators and screening criteria than being a certain race. A different dialect is not enough. There are practically infinite dialects and no one persons can determine what it is except that it is different. Cultural questions are not proof ofguilt, only proof of education and ignorance.
-Bn S2 screens all detainees. Develop better screening criteria for companies.
-Ifhigher requests detainees contrary to Bn assessment, then higher should conduct the release of individuals, not battalion.
-Re-Iook the policies and procedures associated with in-processing, caring for, and releasing of possible EPW's at the 3BCT EPW cage.
