Maj. Gen. Eldon A. Bargewell is a general in the US Army who is currently pursuing an outside administrative investigation as to how knowledge of the Haditha massacre in Iraq passed up the Marine chain of command and whether or not any commanders lied in their reports. The ongoing investigation, titled AR-15-6, began on March 19, 2006 and is expected to call for changes in how US troops are trained in its final report. [1] [2] This is separate from a criminal investigation being conducted by the Naval Criminal Investigative Service.
Bargewell has held many posts in his military career, including commander of the Combat Applications Group at Fort Bragg, North Carolina [3], assistant chief of staff for SFOR military operations in Sarajevo [4], and the director of operations, plans, and policies of US Special Operations Command [5].
