Wow. This really is big. Relieving a regimental commander during an assault is huge.

Yeah, he did something that's a court martial offense. That doesn't happen in the middle of battle.

In the film, didn't
Patton sack a commander
for not advancing?

Relieving a Regimental Commander under any circumstances is huge, during combat it's almost unthinkable. In my entire Career I only saw 2 officers relieved of duty. One was for missing a movement, the other for gross incompetance.

What was the Colonels name that ordered his troops to take a knee on TV yesterday to defuse the near riot while trying to inspect a mosque ?

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.
