Amy Bechtold is an American military judge[2] and lawyer who was formerly a Colonel in the United States Air Force.[1][3] Bechtold is notable for her appointment to the United States Court of Military Commission Review.
Bechtold entered the Air Forces JAG Corps in 1981.[4]
Bechtold was selected for promotion to full Colonel in 2001.[5]
Bechtold served in both the Iraq and Afghanistan theaters or war.[4][6]
Bechtold served as Chief Judge of the Air Force's Court of Military Review, from 31 October 2006 to 6 September 2007.[7] Although Bechtold continued to serve as the Chief Judge until September 2007 she had already been appointed to fill one of the United States Court of Military Commission Review positions reserved for civilians in July 2007.[1]
Brain aneurysm
In 2011 Bechtold was diagnosed as having a life-threatening brain aneurysm.[4][6] Bechtold underwent emergency surgery. Her surgery was conducted using new, non-invasive techniques, and CBS News chose her case to serve as an example in a segment on the new technique for The Early Show. Rather than surgically opening her skull and brain a catheter was threaded through her brain`s arteries to the region of the aneurysm. where it ejected a chemical that triggered a clot within the aneurysm. Bechtold was able to leave the hospital the next day, although she took a month`s sick leave. According to CBS Bechtold had a family history of brain aneurysm, and so could recognize the symptoms prior to the aneurysm bursting.
