Email from Army Officer to Army Officer re: Lessons Learned from KFOR Operation Applied to Deatinee Operations in Iraq

Aug. 17, 2004 | DOA | ACLU-RDI 458
Email asks whether the experiences of soldiers in the NATO led KFOR operation in Kosovo and their handling of detainees, and any abuse of detainees, could be applied to the handling of detainees in Iraq and in dealing with training and supervision in light of the abuse allegations. The answer was "No", because "[the] units involved [in the abuse of detainees in Iraq] were not originally mobilized, trained, and deployed to conduct detention operations. This was a remissioning in theater based on the evolving environment as the operation transitioned from combat operations".
