    Two Marines Are Dead, 17 Injured in Truck Rollover in North Carolina. Driver Charged.

    They were on state roads. Took a turn too fast. The driver is being charged by the locals for misdemeanor death by motor vehicle. Vehicle accidents are a big non-combat cause of casualties.

    Two Marines Are Dead, 17 Injured in Truck Rollover in North Carolina. Driver Charged.

    Two Marines are dead and 17 more are injured after the tactical vehicle they were driving rolled over Wednesday in Jacksonville, N.C., the service announced late in the evening.

    The Marine Corps said the deceased were pronounced dead at the scene while two Marines were transported to New Hanover Regional Medical Center in Wilmington, N.C., where they were in critical condition. The remaining 15 Marines were taken to the Naval Medical Center at Camp Lejeune, N.C., where they were listed in stable condition.



    All the casualties were active-duty Marines with 2nd Marine Logistics Group, II Marine Expeditionary Force, based out of Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, the statement said.

    ....I was in for 8 years....my CO at my first duty station was a tanker...the USMC used to rotate officers all around...we had TOW jeeps back then.....he told me some of them drivers drove like ''Yahoos''' was the word he used.....so when I got to the FMF, we were on Sardinia I think, when one of the TOW drivers was driving like an idiot and one of the Marines fell out of the jeep....no one was injured, thankfully .....he bounced a lot though lol
    ..the TOWS were part of the tank units

    When I was Army infantry, there was a separate MOS for TOWs- 11H. We had if I recall correctly one platoon per battalion. They used Humvees and couldn't go everywhere the 11Bs went. I assume they were nearby on roads.
