Just curious. I was deployed with the 293rd MP Co there from July 94' to Dec 94'. My platoon was involved with the riot that transpired on 10 Sep 94'. We had the all male camp, Camp Lima at first. Later we would take over the Camps of India, Kilo, and Juliet. We also rotated to the detention camp Mag 110, an outside shelter, and we also secured another area that I can't recall that turned a few bunkers into a detention camp.
I know the 65th MP Co was with my unit at the hurricane shelters. 6yrs later, I would run into another NCO that was there, Brett Petriken, and he knew about one of our Soldiers that walked down the the parachute outside the hurricane shelter of the 65th and pulled on it; all while naked and walked back; funniest thing I ever saw.
Lastly, who knew the iguanas on/ near Cable Beach could run "that" fast when we tossed one a grape; crazy.

I was down there in 92 with my unit, the 21st MP CO ABN. We had some interesting times with the dumbasses lighting their buckets on fire starting riots. That was a not all that unusual experience. I did enjoy the open air theatre we had. Good times...

I was QRF with 2-5 ADA July94’- Dec94’, I recall the camps you listed. We were OPSEC at basically McCalla Field. The iguanas were a sight, with their “number plates!” The smell of the camps haunts my senses to this day, felt sorry for the plumbers with their SST’s (Shit Sucking Trucks) so few of them to clear all the honey pots. We beat the snot out of the rioting migrants. It’s always felt more of a civil rights violations issue to me than a humanitarian mission. I pulled guard duty at camp X-Ray in its infancy as you did I can see. MAG-10 for violent offenders(we snatch and grabbed those folks for you. I wish I could say “good times” but that’d be an outright lie.
