A Marine lieutenant colonel has been removed from his job after leaders lost confidence in his ability to command. He's at least the fourth Marine Corps officer to be relieved of command in about two weeks.

Lt. Col. Francisco Zavala, the California-based 1st Reconnaissance Battalion's former commanding officer, was relieved Tuesday, according to a Marine Corps news release. The relief was carried out by Maj. Gen. Robert Castellvi, commanding general of 1st Marine Division.

"[Castellvi] lost trust and confidence in the commanding officer's ability to lead," the release states.
