WASHINGTON: Army Launches Bergdahl Probe
The Army on Monday started its investigation into the mysterious June 2009 disappearance of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl in Afghanistan and his capture by the Taliban shortly afterward.
The Army placed Maj. Gen. Kenneth R. Dahl, who held senior command posts in Afghanistan and served earlier in Iraq, in charge of the probe.
Dahl is currently deputy commanding general of I Corps at Joint Base Lewis-McChord near Tacoma, Wash.
After five years in captivity, Bergdahl was released June 1 in exchange for five Taliban militants who’d been held at the U.S. military detention center in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
