Relieving a regimental commander during an assault is huge. Col. George Germann, who commanded the 24th Marine regiment in the Gulf, was relieved for his actions on Desert Storm was after a congressional investigation. That was long about July, 1991.

Wow, Walt, I wasn't aware of that. I was in Desert Storm, and didn't hear about it. Plus, I now live in Cleveland, where one of the 24th's battalion's was headquarted, and I didn't hear about it on that end either. Thanks for the info.
What exactly did he do?
