Marine dies in training exercise at Camp Pendleton
LOS ANGELES (AP) — A U.S. Marine died during a training exercise Wednesday at Camp Pendleton in Southern California, military officials said.
The Marine died of injuries sustained in a “tactical vehicle mishap” in the afternoon, the I Marine Expeditionary Force said in a statement.
The Marine’s name was not released, and the cause of the incident was under investigation. Officials said the death was not related to Steel Knight, an annual, large-scale training exercise that began Monday on the base.
No further details were given.
The I Marine Expeditionary Force is the largest of the three Marine expeditionary forces and is located on the coast in San Diego County.
