Testimony of First Lieutenant Warren E. Ford II, Headquarters Company Commander, 320th Military Police Battalion. 1st Lt. Ford described his job duties as follows: "My role is basically to train for the unit's mission; prepare for deployment; manage supply motors. But, as far as mission, I don't have any operational responsibility for the confinement piece. I maintain supply motors, and support of headquarters company personnel. After that, when it comes time to re-deploy, then I put together the re-deployment piece. Never have any input to the soldiers on ground in the facilities, as far as the operational mission, here, because that's not my role, and I don't want to step into something that runs counter to what they've been told by the S3 or the Operations Sergeant Major". 1st Lt. Ford concluded by describing how many of the personnel he worked with at Abu Ghraib were overworked and stretched to complete several different jobs in order to compensate for lack of necessary personnel assigned to staff the units needs.
