Office of Military Commission
- Office of Military Commission
The Office of Military Commissions was established in February 2004 to administer the Guantanamo military commissions President Bush wanted to try suspected terrorists held in the American prison in the US Naval base at Guantanamo Bay.
Bush had announced his administration's intent to try suspected terrorists before military commissions in late 2001. The officers to preside over the commissions were chosen prior to the creation of the Office.
