The commander of a California-based Marine Corps battalion landing team has been removed from his post in the wake of a tragic July 30 amphibious assault vehicle training mishap that resulted in the deaths of nine troops.

Lt. Col. Michael J. Regner, commanding officer of Battalion Landing Team 1st Battalion 4th Marines, attached to the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit, was relieved Tuesday by Lt. Gen. Karsten Heckl, according to an official announcement. Officials stated that the relief was due to a loss of confidence in Regner's ability to command as a result of the accident.
