Taguba Report Annex 78: Testimony of Command Sergeant Major Timonth L. Woodcock, 310th Military Police Battalion

Feb. 15, 2004 | DOA | ACLU-RDI 284
Testimony of Command Sergeant Major Timonth L. Woodcock, 310th Military Police Battalion. CSM Woodcock related his impression of the unit by saying "The soldiers' standards that were lacking were in the common soldier task area. Specifically the standards lacking are discipline, customs and courtesies, and the basics that would allow the soldier to perform at their best. If everyone is not enforcing the standards it's like shoveling sand against a tire". On allegations of detainee abuse the CSM said "There were reports of detainee abuse by soldiers of the 310th MP Battalion. There were two reports that I know of. The first soldier received an Article 15, which was finalized today. It was a Battalion level Article 15. I was not present, because the soldier requested MSG Lombardo be present". The remaining portion of interviewed not captured on recording due to technical difficulties.
