Army Has Dominated Maj. Gen. Taguba's Life

[maddezmom]

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Army general whose report on prisoner abuse has rocked the military was born in the Philippines when it was newly freed of U.S. control but still greatly influenced by Americans.

What young Antonio M. Taguba learned from them shaped his ideas about his future home and the Army that would become his life.

Just promoted to major general, he was acting director of the Army staff last year when he honored his fellow Asian-Pacific Americans. He was deputy commanding general of the 3rd Army when assigned to investigate reports of wrongdoing among American military jailers in Iraq.

On Friday, the Pentagon announced that Taguba was being reassigned to the office of the assistant secretary of defense for Reserve affairs as deputy assistant secretary of defense for readiness, training and mobilization.
