This is the final report of the subcommittee of the Defense Legal Policy Board established to review and assess the application of military justice to Service members alleged to have committed offenses against civilians in combat zones.
The report provides important recommendations for the Department on civilian casualty prevention and response that will improve training, reporting and investigation in this area. Recommended improvements to military justice practice will spur the continued development and improvement of military justice in forward deployed areas and help ensure the system remains efficient, fair, dependable and credible.

The Subcommittee reviewed case studies of the following cases: U.S. Marine Corps Haditha cases; the U.S. Army, Maywand District Killings, Stryker cases; and the U.S. Army, Mahmoudiyah, Iraq/Green cases.

The stress of combat affects the ability of individuals, units and institutions to accomplish their missions, and respond to incidents and events. The counterinsurgency (COIN) missions that have characterized the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan compound the stress of combat. These missions require our Service members to operate alongside, and frequently interact with, the civilian community as well as host nation forces. Service members are often tasked with conducting difficult and complex missions that differ greatly from the kinetic combat operations for which they have historically been trained. When incidents involving the death, injury or abuse of civilians occur in combat, they have the potential to become great flash points, possibly undermining the mission and endangering the force.
