Good morning gentlemen, Please see the email below from Capt Wilson's Bn JA. Apparently they are scheduled for their final field exercise (Fin-EX) the week of trial. Is there any way that we could reach an agreement to get an alternative of Capt Wilson's testimony so that we don't interrupt/jeopardize his training? Telephonic, stipulation of expected testimony, or something else? Very Respectfully, Capt Peter C. Combe II Trial Counsel Office of the SJA, MCB Quantico 3250 Catlin Ave. Quantico, VA 22134 Comm: (703) 784-0037 DSN: 278 Fax: (703) 784-0035 DSN: 278 -----Original Message----- From: Chapman Capt Ronald W Sent: Monday, November 28, 2011 22:16 To: Combe Capt Peter C Cc: Wilson Capt Brian J Subject: Capt Wilson's testimony Captain Combe, I understand that Capt Wilson is being called as a witness for a GCM. He is currently at EMV on an ETT assignment and his presence is vital to our deployment to Afghanistan (early Jan). To my knowledge, the defense has not contacted Capt Wilson. You mentioned in the email that the court ordered him as a witness. However, I don't believe that Capt Wilson has testified at a 39(a) - has he been ordered or just requested by the defense? Also, has an Article 32 been conducted? I definately want to help you out and I know how frustrating it can be to find witnesses as a TC. However, he is our ETT platoon commander and I don't want him to get pulled to testify unless its absolutely necessary. Cell phone is sketchy where he is located so it may be difficult to interview him. If we need to we can try and get him on a land line at TTECG or up here at our FOB. V/R Ronald W. Chapman II Captain, USMC Battalion Judge Advocate V18 248.259.2995
