Q: You stated earlier that sometime a er the engagement an IED builder was brought to the Mosque at Thunderdome.
Can you elaborate?
A: Yes, I don't remember how long after the engagement it was, someone was picked up on patrol. I was told about
him by someone, it could have been CPT GOLDSTYN, that the person was being guarded at the mosque. When I went
to meet the person I started out with basic biographical information but he didn't say a single word the entire time he was
there. I guess when he time was up, we couldn't keep him any longer I believe CPT GOLOSTYN told me to release
him. I walked him out the gate, and told him to walk down the road and not come back.
Q: After he left, d id you ever see him again?
A: No. It was never proven that he was an IED builder. I never s<m any evidence and he never told me.
Q: How did you speak with him?
...
A: Through an interpreter. I'm not sure if it w a - r l t m
Q: Did you get his name?
A: No. He didn't say anything.
Q: What was the standard practice for these interviews?
A: To get biographical information, picture, biometrics and stuff. If we had that option. Then if we suspected them of
something we would tailor questions about that. If no information turned up they were released.
Q: How did track the information or record that you got from those you would interview?
A: I would personally take notes and then debrief to our marine intel guy.
Q: Where are those notes retained?
A: They're destroyed. My copy is. I don't know the Marine may have some.
Q: What was the name of the Marine Intel guy?
A: I don't remember.
Q: Were you the only person to conduct interviews?
A: No.
Q:
ted interviews?
A:
I actual! think CPT GOLDSTYN did some and we were sometimes assisted b (b )( 6)(b )(7)(C)
Q: What unit di
elong to?
A: He was a tactical Pshyops team leader here at Fort Bragg.
Q: How often were interviews conducted?
A: Every time we were on patrol and when bad guys were brought back to the compound. No regular basis but I'd say
every other day.
Q: What did you do with known Taliban members that you were forced to release?
A: We would tum them over to the ANA who would I guess prosecute them the Afghan way. I know one guy was taken
out of the city, I'm pretty sure by them.
Q: Was this Standard Operating Procedure?
A: Yes.
Q: Was there a written SOP you followed?
A: Not that I'm aware of. I know CPT GOLDSTYN dealt with that more than I did.
Q: What does ANA stand for?

A: Afghan National Anny.

matter.

A: They did set up check points and everyone knew the plan before a group left.

ANT TO MAKE THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT UNDER OATH:
In February 20 l 0, I was the senior medic on ODA3 l 2 l. Our team was assigned as the combat advisors for 3/4/
205th Afghan National Anny (ANA) Kandak for the liberation of the city of Marjeh, Helmond Province,
Afghanistan. I was the senior tactical advisor to the company commander of the l ~ 1 Company of the 3d
Battalion. Our Task Force consisted of our 10-man ODA, a 4-man Marine Artillery Naval Gunfire Liason
Company {ANGLICO) Team, a 30-man Marine Route Clearance Platoon (RCP), and a 5-man Marine Heavy
Engineer Team. CPT Golsteyn was the Task Force Ground Commander. We began the invasion on the ni ght of
the 12th of February to the best of my recollection. Our team 's mission was to secure the southern 1/3 of the
city. To additional Special Forces ODA ' s with their Afghan Commando counterparts were to air assault in and
secure two objectives inside our sector of operations. The first objective was a likely training school for foreign
fi ghters on U1c southwest edge of our sector and the second (Obj ective [OBJ] Thondcrdome) was the home of a
prominent drug trafficker in Marjeh with ties to the Tal iban and the Queta Shura in Pakistan. OBJ
Thunderdome was adjacent to the BaJikino Bazaar in the center of our assigned sector. To accomplish our
mission we conducte.d a deliberate breach of the canal system surrounding the city then cleared the roads and
intersections of IED 's and established checkpoints along the roads on our way to relieve in place the ODA 'sand
Conunando elements that had secured the first objecti ve and OBJ Thunderdome. We reached the first objective
by late afternoon on the day of our initial breach. We cleared compounds on both sides of the roads as the
Marine Corps RCP cleared the roads to provide flank securi~. My company of ANA (1 st Company) was
pos~tioned on the south sid~ of the road. SSG

and south of the road as the RCP cleared the roads. 3d Company was engaged sporadically throughout the day
from the north in the vicinity of the intersection to the north of the first objective where there was a ba.7...aar and
an International Red Cross/ Red Crescent (ICRC) Clinic. We continued clearing the roads to the East of the first
objective until dark. At dark, we established a RON site and security perimeter around the vehicles. The
following morning (13th of Feb.) we continued clearing to the intersection 1500 meters to the south of
Thunderdome then turned north and cleared the road and compounds up to the Balikino Ba7..aar and OBJ
Thunderdome. We reached Thunderdome on the late afternoon of the second day (14th of February). During
our mission in Marjeh we established an SOP to take pictures and gather biographical data on all military aged
males (MAM's) found during clearing operations or foot patrols to later help us establish intelligence on the
local popu lation as well as determine who were locals who belonged and who were outside foreign fighters.
When our unit reached the Balikino bazaar we established strong points around the main intersection on t~-

of the intersection and was the tallest building in the area at 3 stories. There was a gas station on the Northeast

compound not quite as tall as T hunderdome lay on the Southwest corner of the intersection and became t11e
ANA Kandak Headquarters where all persons under custody (PU C's) were kept guarded by the ANA. To my

during clearing operations of the bazaar by a large IED booby trap on one of the bazaar shop doors where
explosives were being stored. On the night of the 1811', we left a reinforced ANA Company at the intersection to
defend it in the event insurgents tried to re-infiltrate the bazaar and set in more IED's. On the 19 1h, the RCP

gun fire from numerous enemy positions in the compounds to the north as we began our assault across the fields
towards the compounds. CPT Golsteyn coordinated Gun Runs and close in bombing runs, as well as mortar fi re

"th marines attached to ODA-31 21?

'
ince an awards ceremony at Camp Lejune in the Fall of20idllliWind I
still communicate via emru ana he and his fami ly have visited mine and mine his a few time~ year
when we are not both deployed.
Q: Do you know of any incidents involving MAJ GOLSTEYN, in which he shot an un-armed male while in
Afghanistan?
A: Absolutely NOT. I have a hard tim e believing that such an incident ever occurred. I further find it hard to
believe Matt Golsteyn would do that. The only reason I could possible conceive him doing something like that
is if he felt his men' s lives were at direct risk.
Q: Did you ever observe anyone leaving OBJ Thunderdome with only two or three persons when releasing a
PUC?
A: No, never. That goes against our SOP' s

STATEMENT OF:

Case# 0072- l l -ClD359-

AKEN AT: Kabul CID Office; DATED: December 14, 2011 (CONTINUED)

Q: Please describe the process of releasing a PUC back into the local populace?
A: The ANA would hold the person until tlleir tribal e1der crune to vouch for them. The American and ANA
leadership would talk with the elder and ask them why they are vouching and if the person was known to be
Taliban or a supporter. That elder would then take responsibility for the person and if they were caught again
doing something suspicious or in direct contact with Taliban, then the elder would also be accountable. The
elder would then be escorted to the ANA Headquarters building and have to identify the person and then escort
them out of the compound. This was done under the supervision of the ANA leadership and 2-3 Americans.
Q: Did you ever hear anything about a person being released and escorted to their home instead of to a Village
Elder?
A:No. We would not escort them anywhere. They elder would leave with the person, on a few occasions in the
first fow days of us being at the Balikino Bazaar we would release people from the compound on their own,
especially if we had not been there for their detention or it was very clear they had no connections to the
Taliban. I do not recall that happening after the first few days.
Q: What type of documentation was used when processing PU C's?
A: I am not sure. I did not take direct part in processing PUC' s. The AN A handled most of that. The PUC' s
were not detained by American Forces, they were detained by the ANA.
Q: Do you have images or documents to show those who were either PUC's or MAM's?
A: I do still have pictures on my hard drive at FOB Morehead from the 2010 rotation.
Q : Do you know o
anne
felse
who may have images or data regarding either PUC's or MAM's?
nd S S G - i l l do. I do not know for sure. 7di Marine Regiment 82
A: It is likely that SS '
section and SOTF-So
ons shou~all pictures and intelligence reports on file in archives.
Q : Are you willing to provide the images and any information to this office?
A: Sure.
Q: Who controlled the bum pit on OBJ Thunderdome?
A: l contro1led the burn pit as the Preventive Med officer in charge of waste management.
Q : Describe the burn pit on OBJ Thunderdome?
A: 1t was a 4ft. by 4 ft. 2 ft deep hole usually filled with burn residue that was on the south side of the main
building.
Q: How far from the building was the bum pit?
A: Maybe 20 meters.
Q: Was there any other oversight/security on OBJ Thunderdome that covered the burn pit.
A: The burn pit was observed by a roving guard on the roof of the building, a roving guard on the ground level
of the back of the compound and the southern machine gun position on the 2d story balcony.
Q: When were PUC's normally released and why?
A: PUC' s were normally released as soon as an elder came to couch for them, we collected enough evidence for
the ANA to arrest them and process them to Kandahar, or it was clear aft.er questioning that they had no ties to
the Taliban or their activities. The later was usually men that the ANA detained \~rithout our recommendation.
Q: Please describe the process of processing a PUC from the moment he or she is taken into custody.
A: 95% of the time the person was detained directly by the ANA and no American ever directly touched him.
The ANA wouJd place flex cuff's on the person and separate them from other MAM's. Their information would
be taken dovrn by an American and an ANA officer. Their family, if present, would be told where the person
was being taken and to have their tribal elder come and vouch for them. Depending on the circwnstances they
might have a nylon sack placed over their head if they are detained on or around a place we were getting shot at
from. Then escorted back to the ANA headquarters building. 5% of the time, if the tactical situation was stiJ

, WANT TO MAKE THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT UNDER OATH:

new CPT GOLSTEYN from spring o f2009 until now. ln Feb 20 10 I was an Area Operations Batta lion (AOB) Commander
DR) and C PT Golsteyn's Operational Detachment Alpha (ODA) attached to me for at least 6 months. As the ground force
commander during the intial assault into Marjah I mai ntained a oo!;:tion in vicinily of an intersection and buildi ng in southern
Marjah. CPT GOLSTEYN's element a rrived to the Obj ective via a Ground Assault Convoy wi th his Afhgan National Anny (ANA)
counterparts w ithin 24-48HRs of the HAF. The only time I had extensive p hysical contact with CPT GOL STEYN was for one week
or so during the intial fighting and spordaic contact afterwards. After the first week or so the heaviest fighting was over in Marjah.
The inc ident where the lED killed the two marine soldiers was a few weeks after the intial assault. CPT GOLSTEYN received the
usual predeployment brieifing from his chain of CMD on handling of detainees. If CPT GOLSTEYN h11d any detainees he most
likely would have processed them thru his Command Post location (FOB McQueery) for follow on mo vement thru the Marine
Brigade Squad Operations or back thru the AOB/Special Operations Task Force Headquarters. I do not remember any detainees
coming from CPT GOLSTEYN while we were in c-0mbat opera1ions. C PT GOLSTEYN's team was not specifically assigned as a
detainee team but had been briefed o n the prochedures and expectations in t he handling and treatment of detainees. While
deployed I had not heard abou t CPT GOLSTEYN involved in any kind of illegal killings of insurgents. When I had gotten back l had
read a book that had been written about CPT GOLSTEYN by Bing West and he bad mentioned toasting to the Marines that had been
killed in Marj ah. It mentioned that the team members that were with him participated in I.he toast to the fallen. but I am not sure of
what ti me it was. At the time a Marine Engineer section and Marine Agnlico T e am (Close Air Support Tc:am) was attached to CPT
GOLSTEYN's team
unaware if there was any kind of situations where insurgents were mistreated.

He and I were assigned to lhe same BN and then the same Company. ''f'P&and I were both in
the market for a new place to live and we decided to get a house together in Southern Pines.
and I quickly became the best of friends. I have come to know his famil'6and friends and
there is not a person out there that would say anything but great things about 'WE'!' His career
and mine took similar paths and we both ended being deployed-in 2009.
with his ODA and I went with mine. Well before the rotation,
began making plans to
lenve the Army and return to the civilian world. He was intent on moving to Texas and finding a
job in the medical device sales field. It was no surprise that when IQjAlld!libcgan his post
deployment search that he found many opportunities awaiting him. He was a very well qualified
l 8D with tons of experience and countless references from people that he served with in the Army.
He was offered a job at St. Jude Medical in Dallas TX an.d jumped at the opportunity. When he hit
his ETS date in 2011 he packed up his belongings and moved to Dallas. It was not long after

and extensive knowledge of the medical field. He was called to Kansas City to meet his boss>s

reluctantly agreed to leave Dallas. Not long afterPP'T"~,.rrive.d in Kansas City he found out the
"perks" he was promised were never going to come to fruition. From the minute that 'fffPleft
the Army he always said the he wanted back in. When he approached his boss and asked why he
was not getting the "perks" that he was promised, his boss simply told him that there was nothing he
could do. This was the final draw for p.)!(.J!IWand puc into motion his re-enlistment. The incident
surrounding Goldstein was well known around 3rd GRP, and there were several people that told me
the story as thet had heard it. Never once was there any mention of"lW"when I heard the
story retold. f"j'mcontacted me from Dallas and asked if I had heard anything. I told him that
lhere were "rumors" going around 3rd Group about an incident involving Goldstein. He gave me no
