The Office for the Administrative Review of the Detention of Enemy Combatants is responsible for annually reviewing whether suspected terrorists detained by US forces.still posed a threat. It is the follow-on to the Combatant Status Review Tribunals.

Most of the Guantanamo captives have had two Administrative Review Board hearings convened to review their continued detention.

On June 22 2007, an appeal on behalf of Guantanamo captive Fawzi al-Odah contained an affidavit from Stephen Abraham, a lawyer and United States Army reserve officer, which was highly critical of OARDEC's procedures.[1][2] According to the Washington Post Abraham felt compelled to come forward after hearing his former boss, Rear Admiral James M. McGarrah call the Tribunal process "fair".

Approsimately 2,200 documents prepared for the CSR Tribunald and hearings have been released.[3]
