A United States Marine assigned to Camp Pendleton in California was killed during a training exercise Tuesday, military officials confirmed.
A tactical vehicle rollover occurred around 6 p.m. as the vehicle, described as an amphibious combat vehicle, was making a ground movement during training, the U.S. Marine Corps said in a press release.
Fourteen other Marines were in the vehicle when it rolled over, the military said. They were all taken to local hospitals and Naval Hospital Camp Pendleton for evaluation and treatment, the Marine Corps said.
The Marine killed was identified as being assigned to the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit.
The names of the injured Marines are being withheld, in accordance with Department of Defense policy.
The incident is under investigation. No other details were immediately available.
More spinoff from the Obama-Biden administration’s woke socialism in the military forces? Regardless, my prayers go out for the recent lives lost.
My heart goes out to the dead Marine and his family.
Prayers for ALL of our Military members. Near the Holiday’s is the worst. May his family & friends find solace and realize that a Nation of US Citizens have an immense amount of gratitude for each and every one of them today and every day. There are millions of Christians that include our Military in their daily prayers ~ I am sending them extra’s over the past 3 years because they have to deal with a Commander-in-Chief that is giving Billion 4 Quillion 2 Trillion 4 Gillions to Ukraine when instead it should go to our Military instead! I hope none of them have to guard him and sleep on cold concrete floors as they did Jan 2021, after his Inauguration. Please don’t sacrifice your life for Joe ~ We don’t expect you to do that!
