May 22, 2003 | DOA | ACLU-RDI 4769
This transcript of an interview with a First Sergeant of the 314th Military Police Company; 320th Battalion details his deployment, training and equiping his unit for deployment to Iraq in January 2004. His unit was deployed to Camp Bucca, Iraq and he describes the conditions for his soldiers and the detainees as he found them. He stated that the camp was so difficult to manage that "We did have a couple major riots, and one time I thought they were going to lose the camp. They [the detainees] were out in the middle aisles, they were outside their pens. I had all my security around the sides, just trying to contain it." and "pens were throwing rocks at us, throwing stakes at us, throwing anything they could find at us, and that pen fighting us. We shot a couple guys that day, and we fired a whole lot more rounds, hit them, got them back in their pens, though. We finally got some canine down there too, and that kind of calms it, and then we got every MP that's on this post."
