The leaders of the elite U.S. Navy SEAL Team 7 were removed from command Friday after allegations were raised about a sexual assault and drinking while units were deployed in Iraq, military officials said.

A defense official told NBC News the action was related to a claim by a woman who said she was sexually assaulted by a member of the team over the 4th of July weekend and allegations that platoon members were drinking in the combat zone.

The three team leaders are being held responsible for the character of their platoon, the defense official said.
