2009 Fort Hood Tragedy - Attack by Major Nidal Malik Hasan Lessons from Fort Hood Report Radicalization in the Military - Ringbound Book and CD-ROM Set
Author: U.S. Government

This ringbound book and CD-ROM disc set provides a unique and comprehensive collection of American government documents on the tragedy at Fort Hood on November 5, 2009, when a gunman opened fire at the Soldier Readiness Center. The alleged gunman, Major Nidal Malik Hasan, was an Army psychiatrist. He is charged with killing 13 people, 12 militar... more »y and one civilian, and wounding 43 others during a Nov. 5 shooting rampage at Fort Hood, Texas. The alleged assailant was shot and disabled by a Fort Hood civilian police officer, who also was wounded in an exchange of gunfire. Still hospitalized and under detention, Hasan has been charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 specifications of attempted premeditated murder under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. The UCMJ is the U.S. military s legal system for servicemembers. Hasan, a Muslim, allegedly became radicalized and complained to colleagues about his role as a U.S. military officer when he was posted at Walter Reed Army Medical Center here before being assigned to Fort Hood in July 2009. The book is a full reproduction of the January 2010 report, Protecting the Force: Lessons from Fort Hood. The report was written by the DoD Independent Review Related to Fort Hood, co-chaired by Togo West and Admiral Vern Clark. West and Clark discussed the findings of their report with legislators on Capitol Hill. Gates directed the panel to review military personnel policies, procedures for force protection, and emergency response measures, West said during Jan. 20 testimony before the House Armed Services Committee, as well as policies that apply to those who provide medical care to servicemembers. The panel also was tasked to take a look at how the Army applied its policies and procedures to the alleged perpetrator, West told House legislators. The military, West told committee members, needs to pay attention to potential dangers as the war against global extremism continues. The fact is that we need to understand the forces that cause an individual to radicalize, commit violent acts and thereby to make us vulnerable from within, West said. It also is imperative, West said, that military leaders produce honest appraisals of their subordinates. Evaluations make a difference, West told House committee members. And we can t do the job of leading or protecting against threats if honest evaluations are not done by those who have the duty, the information and the authority to do so. The CD-ROM disc included in this set has nearly 3,000 pages reproduced using Adobe Acrobat PDF software, plus 52 image files, and 8 video files.
