Here is the Marine Corps statement:
"The command is currently collecting information and conducting a review to determine what information was available to commanders and when that information was available in relation to Lance Cpl. Lauterbach.
Additionally, we are collecting information and reviewing actions taken as a result of information becoming available. It is premature to discuss those actions until the review is completed, said Lt. Col Curtis Hill, public affairs officer for II Marine Expeditionary Force.
"We understand the press and public desire to know what happened but want to ensure whatever information we release is accurate and that our release of information would not adversely impact any ongoing investigation and/or future judicial proceeding."
