PI/ rourricla -
ge;‘,1' SUBJECT: Government of Afghanistan Participation in the Enemy Combatant Review I' Board Process (FM)
• .fer Recommend you authodze the Iparticipalion of Government of • Afkbanistan (GOA) officials in the Enemy Combatant Review Board (ECRB) process used at the Bagram Theater Interment Facility (BlIF) for matters involving. Aily,bm detainees.
- 4SrThe EOM process in Afghanistan assists.CoMmander, uscancom. or his designee, in malting detainee status determinations and decisions on continued detention or release. The ECRB is comprised of U.S. military personnel, but total* receives recommendations and input from other U.S. agencies. .
- 8f The.ECRB process was established to implement policy guidance provided in "Global Screening Criteria for Deudnees" (TAB A) and "Detsince Smarming in Afghtnistanw (TAB B). Existinepolley guidance neither prohibits nor encourages (30A parlicipalion is the ECRB IkOCen.
• (grin November 2005, USCEN1VOM recommended, in the context of transfer of detainees to the GOA, establishing a collaborative enemy combatant saviow Mem
that would include GOA parlicipalion.
,

SUBJECT: Enemy Combatant Status Determinations (FOUO)
Pursuant to Deputy Secretary of Defense memorandum, "Global Screening Criteria (GSC) for Detainees," February 20, 2004, the combatant commanders shall assess individuals over whom they obtain control in connection with War on Terrorism operations to determine whether they are enemy combatants (EC) and are therefore subject to detention by DoD personnel. The Detainee Treatment Act of 2005 provides that no person in the custody or under the effective control of the Department of Defense shall be subject to any treatment or technique of interrogation not authorized by and listed in the United States Field Manual on Intelligence Interrogations. Field Manual 2-22.3, "Human Intelligence Collector Operations," September 6, 2006, provides that separation as an interrogation technique may only be used in the interrogation of persons determined to be unlawful enemy combatants. The National Defense Authorization Act, 2005 requires that the Secretary of Defense submit to Congress an annual report that includes, among other things, the number of individuals determined to be enemy combatants. Finally, pursuant to Deputy Secretary of Defense memorandum, "Policy Guidance on Department of Defense Detention Operations in Iraq, September 16, 2005, provides additional DoD policy guidance on detention operations in Iraq and includes a definition of enemy combatant.

.(0g) U.S. forces are conducting war on terrorism operations against al Qaeda in Iraq. Although the designation of detainees as enemy combatants under the GSC applies globally, it is understood that individuals detained in Iraq generally are held as security internees under the law of war and relevant U.N. Security Council Resolutions. Because some of these detainees are al Qaeda and associated forces and would meet the criteria for designation as unlawful enemy combatants under the GSC, it is necessary that such detainees be formally evaluated pursuant to the GSC, consistent with the September 16, 2005, Iraq policy guidance.
rFor the purposes of applying the GSC in Iraq and other areas in the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility, Commander, U.S. Central Command, may delegate to the level of Task Force Commander, including to the Deputy Commanding General for Detainee Operations, the authority to designate detainees as enemy combatants in the war on terrorism under the GSC.

Policy Statement and Guidelines on Body Cavity Searches and Exams of Detainees in DoD Control.
The United States has a significant and legitimate interest in performing appropriate security searches and medical exams that address the safety, health, and security concerns of DoD personnel and detainees under DoD control. However, the use of body cavity exams and searches may conflict with the customs of some detainees. Therefore, effective immediately, the following guidelines are in effect:
• Do not perform routine detainee body cavity exams or searches (to include hernia exams).
• Body cavity exams may be performed for valid medical reasons with the verbal consent of the patient. However, these exams should not be performed as part of a routine medical intake exam.
• Body cavity searches are to be conducted only when there is a reasonable belief that the detainee is concealing an item that presents a security risk.
• To the extent possible and consistent with military necessity, a body cavity exam or search, whether conducted for medical or security reasons, should be conducted by personnel of the same gender as that of the detainee being searched.
• All body cavity exams and searches will be conducted in a manner that respects the person.
• The first general officer in the chain of command shall be the approval authority for body cavity searches (other than those performed for valid medical reasons).
• For the purposes of this policy, a detainee is a person under the control of the Department of Defense as a result of armed conflict, including the global war on terrorism, and includes enemy combatants, enemy prisoners of war, and civilian internees.

MEMORANDUM FOR SECRETARIES OF THE MILITARY DEPARTMENTS CHAIRMAN OF THE JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF UNDER SECRETARY OF DEFENSE FOR POLICY UNDER SECRETARY OF DEFENSE FOR INTELLIGENCE COMMANDER U.S. CENTRAL COMMAND COMMANDER U.S. SPECIAL OPERATIONS COMMAND
SUBJECT: Revised Policy Guidance on Access to Detainees and Detention Facilities in Afghanistan (U)
(U) U.S. forces operating under the auspices of Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) are authorized to detain captured persons consistent with the laws and customs of armed conflict, Additionally, U.S. forces may detain and intern persons who meet specific criteria based on the Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) (Public Law 107-40), dated September 18, 2001, as informed by the laws and customs of armed conflict.
(U) The Department of Defense (DoD) is making a concerted effort to ensure that OEF detention operations are aligned with, and fully support, strategic objectives, including the defeat of the Afghan insurgency. A crucial aspect of this effort is to increase the transparency of OEF detention operations in Afghanistan. On September 18, 2009, the Secretary of Defense established Joint Task Force (JTF) 435, whose mission includes oversight of such operations and coordination of efforts to align them with strategic objectives.
(U) The attached guidance is intended to clarify DoD policy on access to DoD detainees and detention facilities in Afghanistan; to clarify roles and responsibilities in this area, including with respect to the newly established JTF 435; to permit delegation of authority in this area to the theater level wherever possible; and to promote greater transparency. To the extent that the attached guidance conflicts with earlier guidance, the attached guidance prevails.

DEFENSE ASSISTANTS TO THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE DIRECTOR, ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT DIRECTOR, PROGRAM ANALYSIS AND EVALUATION DIRECTOR, NET ASSESSMENT DIRECTORS OF THE DEFENSE AGENCIES DIRECTORS OF THE DOD FIELD ACTIVITIES
SUBJECT: Delegation of Authority to Waive the Autopsy Requirement for Detainee Deaths in USCENTCOM AOR
Pursuant to the Secretary of Defense memorandum of June 9, 2004, Procedures for Investigation into Deaths of Detainees in the Custody of the Armed Forces of the United States, in the event of a detainee death, the pertinent commander shall immediately report the death to the appropriate Department of Defense investigative agency. The investigative agency then shall contact the Office of the Armed Forces Medical Examiner (OAFME) to determine whether an autopsy will be performed. In most cases, it is necessary for the detainee's body to be transported to the United States for an autopsy to be performed.
In deference to cultural and/or religious sensitivities, it may be prudent to waive the autopsy requirement in certain cases. Specifically, in cases following death from natural causes, the potentially negative consequences of performing an in-theater autopsy or transporting a detainee's remains to the United States could undermine security operations and endanger U.S. Forces and may outweigh current procedures that are intended, in part, to protect individual service members, the Department, and the U.S. Government from unsubstantiated claims of abuse or mistreatment. In recent months, the
—FOR-OFFIGIAITUSEi-ONL-Y--
Bagram CENTCOM 329
Commander, USCENTCOM, has requested that the requirement to perform an autopsy be waived in precisely such an instance.
• Accordingly, in the event of a detainee death, USCENTCOM will take steps to ensure that the detainee's medical records are transmitted to the OAFME within 12 hours of a detainee's death. If the OAFME determines that an autopsy should be conducted, USCENTCOM shall first consult with the OAFME to determine whether an in-theater autopsy is an available, appropriate, and timely option. If the Commander, USCENTCOM determines that an in-theater autopsy is not a viable option, or that removing the remains from the host country could cause significant negative consequences that would affect security and stabilization operations, the Commander, USCENTCOM, is authorized to waive the autopsy requirement.
Should OAFME's preliminary review disclose any suspected evidence of abuse, neglect, maltreatment, or other injurious conduct as a contributing factor in the death of the detainee, the Commander, USCENTCOM is not authorized to waive the autopsy requirement. The OAFME's preliminary review may be based on a review of the medical records, consultation with a physician involved in treating the detainee and/or in pronouncing death, consultation with the investigative agency involved, and/or other information the OAFME considers appropriate. Furthermore, Commander, USCENTCOM may not delegate the authority to waive the autopsy requirement.
The presumption remains in effect that in the case of the death of an individual while in the custody of the United States, an autopsy shall be performed unless a determination is made by the OAFME that an autopsy is not necessary to ascertain the cause of death. The authority to waive an autopsy, as described and limited above, shall be used judiciously and on an exceptional basis only. In the event the Commander, USCENTCOM, exercises this authority, USCENTCOM shall immediately notify the Under Secretary'of Defense for Policy, through the Joint Staff, of the circumstances and justification for the waiver.

persons. References (d), (e), and (f) provide that the Office of the Armed Forces Medical Examiner has primary jurisdiction and authority within DoD to determine the cause and manner of death in any DoD death investigation. This jurisdiction may be exercised as part of DoD death investigations of enemy prisoners of war, retained personnel, civilian internees, and other detainees in the custody of the Armed Forces of the United States.
In the case of a death of such an individual, the commander of.the facility (or if the death did not occur in a facility, the commander of the unit that exercised custody over the individual) shall immediately report the death to the responsible investigative agency; Army Criminal Investigation Division, Navy Criminal Investigative Service, or Air Force Office Of Special Investigations. This investigative agency shall contact the Office of the Armed Forces Medical Examiner (AFME). The AFME will determine whether an autopsy will be performed. The regional combatant commander shall notify the Secretary of Defense, through the Chairman, Joint Chiefs Of Staff, of all deaths occurring in US armed forces custody.
Upon declaration of death, the remains will be placed in a clean body bag and secured awaiting instructions from the appropriate investigating agency. The remains will not be washed and all items on or in the body will be left undisturbed except for weapons, ammunition, and other items that pose a threat to the living. The body will not be released from United States custody without written authorization from the investigative agency concerned or the Armed Forces Medical Examiner. .
In summary, in the case of death of any individual described above, while in custody of the Armed Forces of the United States, it is presumed that an autopsy shall be performed, unless an alternative determination is made by the Armed Forces Medical Examiner. Determination of the cause and manner of death in these cases will be the sole responsibility of the AFME or other physician designated by the AFME.

RE: Afghan Law on Internal and External Security
You are the man Mark. Thanks. III
Messa•e From: [mailto: Sent: Thursda March 12, 2009 5:12 PM To: (NSD) Cc: Clark, Brad, CIV, OSD-POLICY; Subject: Afghan Law on Internal and External Security
I'm attaching an unofficial summary of the national security offenses former Guantanamo and Bagram detainees face in their trials at the Afghan National Detention Facility (ANDF). I apologize for the pdf format of the document, but that's the only way I could get it to you on this system.
As I explained this morning, the law on internal and external security is part of the Afghan criminal code, but the cases are tried by special Afghan national security prosecutors. As I understand it, the prosecutors work for the Attorney General, but they rely on investigators from the Afghan National Directorate of Security (NDS) to conduct any investigation beyond the information we provide upon transfer -- to the extent there is any additional investigation, that is. Four different panels of judges, known as Central Primary Courts, travel to the ANDF to hear the cases. As we discussed, the 2nd Central Primary Court has been considerably more lenient than the others, perhaps because the judges are Pashtun, as are most detainees.
Also, it's worth repeating that the Afghans have sole discretion to decide which detainees to prosecute and, if so, for what offenses. Once we transfer detainees to the exclusive custody and control of the Afghan government, the disposition of their cases is out of our hands.
