Testimony of Command Sargent Major Pascual Cartagena, 800th Military Police Battalion. CMS Cartagena stated “I was an Individual Replacement [to the 800th MP Brigade] I was not associated with the 800th MP Brigade prior to this assignment I have not worked with any unit like the 800th MP Brigade, nor do I have any experience with Internment and Resettlement Operations. I was not given any specific guidance as to my responsibilities and duties from anyone in the 800th MP Brigade”. And continued on with “There are certain references, policies, to which the units most abide with. Some of those are the treatment of humans, human rights, Geneva Convention Codes, proper treatment of prisoners per the FM, and standard Army policy regulations, and Army values”. As for his duties once at the unit he said “I did not get out to the battalions as much as I wanted too. The S-3 was shorthanded. During the two month that I was the CSM, I visited the battalions at least once and some of them more than once”. In describing Gen. Karpinski the CMS said “I would describe General Karpinski's leadership style as direct. She is an authoritarian, not a passive leader. When issues are brought to her she is direct”. The CMS continued to describe the command structure of the Brigade and then the interview was concluded.
