U.S. Army reserve Brig. Gen. Janis Karpinski is put in charge of the 800th Military Police Brigade with jurisdiction over military prisons in Iraq. It is her first experience dealing with prisoners. Her command includes three large jails (including Abu Ghraib), eight battalions, and 3,400 army reservists. Most have no training in handling prisoners.
Karpinski will come under fire for the abuses at Abu Ghraib and eventually lose her rank, but she will in turn become an outspoken critic of the U.S. military leadership in Iraq, accusing superiors of making her the scapegoat for the scandal.

I was wondering if there is a list of each military leader who has been assigned to lead the war in Iraq since it began. I think there is probably a long list of military people who began and have since retired or been replaced. I'd like to see the complete list up to today. It you have this info, I'd appreciate a copy.
Thanks you.
