Fox News
The U.S. Marines Corps (USMC) relieved Col. Christopher J. Bronzi, commanding officer of the 15 Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU), on Tuesday, saying it lost "trust and confidence in his ability to command" following an investigation into his unit's training accident last year.
Before July's accident, only eight marines had died in AAV-related incidents, the Marine Corps Times reported. The Marines said Lt. Gen. Steven Rudder replaced Bronzi with Col. Fridrik Fridriksson, who previously commanded 11th MEU, as commanding officer of the 15th MEU.More Related News
