John Garrity
From WikiAlpha
John Garrity is an officer in the United States Army.[1][2][3][4] In 2009 he was appointed the camp commandant of the Bagram Theater Internment Facility.
COL Garrity oversaw the closing of the old temporary facility built in a ruined hangar from the era of Afghanistan's Soviet occupation—that had nevertheless been in use since early 2002—and the opening of modern facilities. Prior to serving as camp commandant at Bagram he commanded the 16th Military Police Brigade (Airborne) at Fort Bragg.
According to Saeed Shah, of the McClatchy News Service, Garrity was tasked to reverse Bagram's bad reputation.[1]
After Garrity's retirement from the Army he has held a series of positions within the Department of Energy.[5][6]
