Brandon Neely

Brandon Neely is a former United States Army guard at the Guantanamo Bay detention camp, in Cuba. Neely is notable for agreeing to be interviewed by the Center for the Study of Human Rights in the Americas.

Neely declined to respond to a recall to active duty from the Individual Ready Reserve in 2007. Neely reported that, after receiving letters from the Department of Defense, he was sent an honorable discharge from the Army Reserve.

In January 2010, Neely flew to the United Kingdom and met with former captives. Neely and Ruhal Ahmed and Shafiq Rasul reconnected in 2009 via Rasul's Facebook page. The BBC Radio was scheduled to air a documentary about the meeting on January 14, 2010.

Guantanamo duty Neely was a guard at Guantanamo for the first six months the camp was open, and described feeling guilty for the brutal treatment captives received at that time.

Brandon Neely resigned from IVAW in early 2008 citing IVAW was becoming radical and anti-American.

Neely, 29, had left the US military in 2005 to become a police officer and was still struggling to come to terms with his time as a guard at Guantanamo. ⁠— see section §⁠⁠Later developments for any official judgements handed down in the case thus far.
