Cpt Joseph F LTC JOSEPH F. CROCITTO A native of Stockton, California, LTC Crocitto entered active duty in the Army in November of 1982 at Fort Bliss, Texas, following his graduation from Lincoln High School. He served with the 82d Airborne Division’s 3rd Battalion, 4th Air Defense Artillery at Fort Bragg, NC from June of 1983 until the summer of 1985 as an Operations Assistant and Section Leader. In the summer of 1985, now Sergeant Crocitto left the 82d Airborne Division to attend the USMA Preparatory School at Fort Monmouth, New Jersey. After graduating the Preparatory School, he accepted admission to the University of California at Davis as a Political Science Major, and enrolled simultaneously in the ROTC program and US Army Reserves. SGT Crocitto completed the US Army Drill Sergeant School as the Distinguished Graduate in October of 1987, and served as a Drill Sergeant and ROTC cadet with the 91st Infantry Division, based in Sacramento, California until the summer of 1990. He participated in ROTC on a 3-year scholarship and received his commission as a Distinguished Military Graduate in September of 1990. Following his commissioning, 2LT Crocitto attended the Aviation Officer Basic Course and flight training at Fort Rucker, Alabama earning the Honor Graduate and Commandant’s List designations. Immediately after his training at Fort Rucker he attended the Maintenance Managers/Maintenance Test Pilot Course (UH-1 Track) at Fort Eustis, Virginia. In the spring of 1992, his first operational flying assignment took him to Fort Ord, California and the 7th Infantry Division (Light). There he served with the 237th Medical Detachment (Air Ambulance) as a MEDEVAC Pilot, Operations Officer and the unit Maintenance Test Pilot. In 1993, 1LT Crocitto moved to Fort Campbell to join the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) and served with the 8th Battalion (Aviation Intermediate Maintenance (AVIM)), 101st Aviation Regiment as a Supply Support Activity Platoon Leader, Aircraft Maintenance Platoon Leader and UH-1 Pilot in Command. After promotion, CPT Crocitto left Fort Campbell in the spring of 1996 to attend the Aviation Officer Advanced Course enroute to Korea. Assigned to the 194th Maintenance Battalion at Camp Humphreys, Korea, CPT Crocitto served briefly as the Battalion Adjutant before moving to C Company (AVIM), 52d Aviation Regiment to supervise aviation maintenance operations as the Production Control Officer. CPT Crocitto returned to Fort Rucker in the winter of 1997 to attend the OH-58D(I) Kiowa Warrior Qualification and Maintenance Test Pilot Courses before returning to the 8th Battalion (AVIM), 101st Aviation Regiment. CPT Crocitto became the A Company Executive Officer in the spring of 1998. In August of 1999, CPT Crocitto assumed command of E Troop, 2-17th Cavalry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault). He remained in that position for the next 30 months, maintaining an 81% Squadron Operational Readiness Rate and deployed the troop in total and in part to multiple JRTC rotations, FTXs and the 101st Airborne Division KFOR rotation in 2001. Following his change of command in February of 2002, now MAJ Crocitto supervised the 96 hour rapid combat deployment operation of the 3-101st Aviation Regiment to Afghanistan, and remained at Fort Campbell to lead the 3-101st Rear Detachment for the next seven months. Upon the Battalion’s return, MAJ Crocitto moved up to the 101st Aviation Brigade Staff as the Assistant S-4 and Field S-1. Following the notification of the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) mission in Iraq in February 2003, MAJ Crocitto led the out load and deployment of the 101st Aviation Brigade. Upon the brigade’s closure at Camp Udari, Kuwait, he transitioned to the role of brigade field S-1 and Admin/Logistics Operating Center OIC for the duration of major combat operations from the jump over the berm all the way to Mosul. In June of 2003 he returned to the United States as a Command and General Staff Officers Course Selectee at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, before once again joining the Screaming Eagles of the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault). From August of 2004 until May 2005, Major Crocitto served as the Executive Officer for 8th Battalion, 101st Aviation Regiment facilitating the battalion’s transformation to the 96th Aviation Support Battalion. In May of 2005, MAJ Crocitto assumed command of B Company (AVIM), 96th Aviation Support Battalion. During his 24 months of command, he deployed the unit to combat operations at Camp Speicher, Iraq. During his year long rotation, MAJ Crocitto led B Company through over 7,000 workorders, exceeding a 100% production index in seven of the ten recorded service months, 20 scheduled services, and two Downed Aircraft Recovery Missions. He returned the unit to Fort Campbell in September of 2006 and reset every functional area, earning a 100% “Go” rating during the February 2007 FORSCOM Aviation Resource Management Survey (ARMS). Major Crocitto left command in late April of 2007 and in August returned to Fort Rucker, Alabama. With his promotion to LTC, he assumed the position of Aviation Lessons Learned Integration Division Chief in October 2007.

I am particularly concerned about the toll that acts of terrorism continue to take on ordinary Iraqi people. Iraq, and the international community must do more to ensure that the victims of these violations are given appropriate care and protection - and that any individual who has perpetrated crimes or violations is held accountable according to law.” − Mr. Ján Kubiš Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General in Iraq, 12 June 2015, Baghdad “Civilians continue to be the primary victims of the ongoing armed conflict in Iraq - and are being subjected to human rights violations and abuses on a daily basis, particularly at the hands of the so-called Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. Ensuring accountability for these crimes and violations will be paramount if the Government is to ensure justice for the victims and is to restore trust between communities. It is also important to send a clear message that crimes such as these will not go unpunished’’ - Mr. Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, 12 June 2015, Geneva Contents Summary ...................................................................................................................................... i Introduction ................................................................................................................................ 1 Methodology ..............................................................................................................................

  • In the Shadow of a Massacre, a Peaceful Return in Iraq USIP Partners Ease Tensions Over 2014 Slaughter by Islamic State
    In the Shadow of a Massacre, a Peaceful Return in Iraq USIP Partners Ease Tensions Over 2014 Slaughter by Islamic State July 16, 2015 Part 1 By Viola Gienger In a plain-as-beige conference room at Baghdad’s Babylon Hotel, the anger flared among the 16 robed Iraqi tribal leaders. The men, after all, carried into the room the outrage and fear from one of the country’s deadliest atrocities in recent years – the execution-style slaying in June 2014 of an estimated 1,700 young Iraqi air force cadets and soldiers at a base known as Camp Speicher. The accusations flew across the conference table – that tribes in the area supported the rampage by the self-styled “Islamic State” extremist group, and even joined in the killings. At one point, one of the highest-ranking sheikhs charged up out of his seat to leave the room. It was clear that others would follow. That scene in a Baghdad hotel in late March represented perhaps the crescendo of tension in a series of meetings and negotiations “If you do not take care of since December, supported by the U.S. Institute of Peace to the tensions immediately, forestall a new cycle of killing. The talks were led by the Network the government and the of Iraqi Facilitators (NIF) and SANAD for Peacebuilding, Iraqi non- international community government organizations that were established with the will have limited leeway Institute’s support and whose members sometimes work at great personal risk. once this spirals into more violence.” – USIP Senior The Speicher discussions were part of a structured effort that had Program Officer Sarhang begun months earlier and continues today.
