This determination is based on information possessed by the United States that indicates that he is associated with forces that are engaged in hostilities against the United States and its coalition partners. The detainee is associated with forces that are engaged in hostilities against the United States and its coalition partners:
   1. The detainee traveled to Afghanistan in July 2001.

4. The detainee has the opportunity to contest his designation as an enemy combatant.
