Investigation into incident where a detainee was shot & killed at FOB Ironhorse on 9/11/03. Medics had advised guards that detainees in isolation could get up and walk around to relieve discomfort and pain. An MP saw detainee touching concertina wire; did not give any verbal warning; and shot the detainee. The findings found that rhere are insufficient instructions for guards in performing their duties; There are no written SOPs or post instructions for guards; and the combination of loaded weapons within the confines of the detention facility and the inadequate number of guards are conducive to quick escalation of use of deadly force.
