Court Of Inquiry

posted by Jennifer Hlad on Mar 20

I talked to Lt. Col. Gibson again yesterday, and it doesn’t look like we will be hearing the results of the report anytime soon.

Because part of the actual report is classified, the whole thing has been classified. They will probably only release something after Lt. Gen. Helland makes a decision — and even then, they will only release the unclassified stuff. Plus, there is no telling how long it will take for the MarCent SJA to review the report, and then for Lt. Gen. Helland to review it and decide what to do. But, when something comes out — whenever that may be — I will post it here ASAP.

 The Court of Inquiry panel’s report reached U.S. Marine Corps Forces Central Command headquarters today.

The overall report is classified because of some classified information that is included in it, according to MarCent spokesman Lt. Col. Sean Gibson.

“The report contains the findings of fact, opinion and recommendations of the panel,” Gibson said in a press release.

After the MarCent staff judge advocate reviews the report, it will go to Lt. Gen. Samuel Helland, commander of the U.S. Marine Corps Forces Central Command, who will make a decision about how to proceed.
