The Office for the Adminstrative Review of Detained Enemy Combatants commissioned multiple Tribunal panels in late 2004 and early 2005, when it oversaw the Combatant Status Review Tribunals of 558 captives present in the camp at that time.

The record shows that at least thirty-four different panels were commissioned during that period. Stephen Abraham, a reserve officer who is a lawyer in civilian life, sat on a panel that was only allowed to convene once. His panel reviewed whether al Ghazzawi should be considered an enemy combatant, and unanimously determined he should not be classified as an enemy combatant.

In September 2007 the Departmenf of Defense published the unclassified documents that arose from the CSR Tribunals of 179 men. Those documents record which panels reviewed sat to perform the review.
