As the provost marshal in the Republic of Korea, my military police investigators worked diligently to eliminate black market operations in and around our installation. A main suspect of the Black Market Task Force was the manager of the shoppette on post.
It was March 2007 and I had been working with the 1-75th Iraqi Infantry Battalion on a military transition team (MiTT) for just over six months. Tensions were running high as insurgent violence in Baghdad was at historic levels.
Our team was in Afghanistan for about 60 days when the team's technical sergeant (TSgt) walked in on a group of guys looking at pornographic materials. The pornography was on team member Jackson's personal computer. The TSgt recommended to CPT Hall that he investigate Jackson for possession of pornography.
