On Jan. 10, 2017:
To Whom It May Concern:

This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act. I hereby request the following records:

All documents, reports, files and electronic-mail communications related to the following Improvised Explosive Device (IED)/Explosively Formed Penetrator (EFP) attacks against US Forces in Iraq (operating within the US Central Command area of responsibility) during October–December, 2011:

1. IED/EFP attack on October 19, 2011, occurring at Military Grid Reference System (MGRS) geocoordinate 38SNB3812301530;
2. IED/EFP attack on October 22, 2011, occurring at MGRS geocoordinate 38SMC2925124269;
3. IED/EFP attack on October 24, 2011, occurring at MGRS geocoordinate 38SMB4720088900;
4. IED/EFP attack on October 29, 2011, occurring at MGRS geocoordinate 38SMA8445077500;
5. IED/EFP attack on November 10, 2011, occurring at MGRS geocoordinate 38RQU6274066560;
6. IED/EFP attack on November 14, 2011, occurring at MGRS geocoordinate 38SNA0132647260;
7. IED/EFP attack on November 14, 2011, occurring at MGRS geocoordinate 38SMB3241099926;
8. IED/EFP attack on November 21, 2011, occurring at MGRS geocoordinate 38SMB3470692718;
9. IED/EFP attack on November 22, 2011, occurring at MGRS geocoordinate 38SMB5437917940;
10. IED/EFP attack on November 26, 2011, occurring at MGRS geocoordinate 38SMA8737074160;
11. IED/EFP attack on November 30, 2011, occurring at MGRS geocoordinate 38SMA9136071670;
12. IED/EFP attack on December 13, 2011, occurring at MGRS geocoordinate 38SNA0064440864.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

Although FOIA has always presumed that government records are open to public inspection, the FOIA Improvement Act of 2016, Pub. L. 114-185, prohibits agencies from withholding records unless (1) “disclosure is prohibited by law” or (2) “the agency reasonably foresees that disclosure would harm an interest protected by” one of FOIA’s exemptions. 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(8)(A). Thus, in addition to FOIA favoring disclosure and requiring its exemptions to be narrowly construed, Section 552(a)(8)(A) prohibits agencies from using their discretion to broadly withhold records merely because they believe an exemption could technically apply.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 20 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

David Scantling

To Whom It May Concern:

This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act. I hereby request the following records:

All documents, reports, files and electronic-mail communications related to the following Improvised Explosive Device (IED)/Explosively Formed Penetrator (EFP) attacks against US Forces in Iraq (operating within the US Central Command area of responsibility) during October–December, 2011:

1. IED/EFP attack on October 19, 2011, occurring at Military Grid Reference System (MGRS) geocoordinate 38SNB3812301530;
2. IED/EFP attack on October 22, 2011, occurring at MGRS geocoordinate 38SMC2925124269;
3. IED/EFP attack on October 24, 2011, occurring at MGRS geocoordinate 38SMB4720088900;
4. IED/EFP attack on October 29, 2011, occurring at MGRS geocoordinate 38SMA8445077500;
5. IED/EFP attack on November 10, 2011, occurring at MGRS geocoordinate 38RQU6274066560;
6. IED/EFP attack on November 14, 2011, occurring at MGRS geocoordinate 38SNA0132647260;
7. IED/EFP attack on November 14, 2011, occurring at MGRS geocoordinate 38SMB3241099926;
8. IED/EFP attack on November 21, 2011, occurring at MGRS geocoordinate 38SMB3470692718;
9. IED/EFP attack on November 22, 2011, occurring at MGRS geocoordinate 38SMB5437917940;
10. IED/EFP attack on November 26, 2011, occurring at MGRS geocoordinate 38SMA8737074160;
11. IED/EFP attack on November 30, 2011, occurring at MGRS geocoordinate 38SMA9136071670;
12. IED/EFP attack on December 13, 2011, occurring at MGRS geocoordinate 38SNA0064440864.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

Although FOIA has always presumed that government records are open to public inspection, the FOIA Improvement Act of 2016, Pub. L. 114-185, prohibits agencies from withholding records unless (1) “disclosure is prohibited by law” or (2) “the agency reasonably foresees that disclosure would harm an interest protected by” one of FOIA’s exemptions. 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(8)(A). Thus, in addition to FOIA favoring disclosure and requiring its exemptions to be narrowly construed, Section 552(a)(8)(A) prohibits agencies from using their discretion to broadly withhold records merely because they believe an exemption could technically apply.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 20 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

David Scantling

Thus, in addition to FOIA favoring disclosure and requiring its exemptions to be narrowly construed, Section 552(a)(8)(A) prohibits agencies from using their discretion to broadly withhold records merely because they believe an exemption could technically apply.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 20 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

David Scantling

To Whom It May Concern:

This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act. I hereby request the following records:

All documents, reports, files and electronic-mail communications related to the following Improvised Explosive Device (IED)/Explosively Formed Penetrator (EFP) attacks against US Forces in Iraq (operating within the US Central Command area of responsibility) during October–December, 2011:

1. IED/EFP attack on October 19, 2011, occurring at Military Grid Reference System (MGRS) geocoordinate 38SNB3812301530;
2. IED/EFP attack on October 22, 2011, occurring at MGRS geocoordinate 38SMC2925124269;
3. IED/EFP attack on October 24, 2011, occurring at MGRS geocoordinate 38SMB4720088900;
4. IED/EFP attack on October 29, 2011, occurring at MGRS geocoordinate 38SMA8445077500;
5. IED/EFP attack on November 10, 2011, occurring at MGRS geocoordinate 38RQU6274066560;
6. IED/EFP attack on November 14, 2011, occurring at MGRS geocoordinate 38SNA0132647260;
7. IED/EFP attack on November 14, 2011, occurring at MGRS geocoordinate 38SMB3241099926;
8. IED/EFP attack on November 21, 2011, occurring at MGRS geocoordinate 38SMB3470692718;
9. IED/EFP attack on November 22, 2011, occurring at MGRS geocoordinate 38SMB5437917940;
10. IED/EFP attack on November 26, 2011, occurring at MGRS geocoordinate 38SMA8737074160;
11. IED/EFP attack on November 30, 2011, occurring at MGRS geocoordinate 38SMA9136071670;
12. IED/EFP attack on December 13, 2011, occurring at MGRS geocoordinate 38SNA0064440864.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

Although FOIA has always presumed that government records are open to public inspection, the FOIA Improvement Act of 2016, Pub. L. 114-185, prohibits agencies from withholding records unless (1) “disclosure is prohibited by law” or (2) “the agency reasonably foresees that disclosure would harm an interest protected by” one of FOIA’s exemptions. 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(8)(A). Thus, in addition to FOIA favoring disclosure and requiring its exemptions to be narrowly construed, Section 552(a)(8)(A) prohibits agencies from using their discretion to broadly withhold records merely because they believe an exemption could technically apply.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 20 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

David Scantling
