The Washington Post published a report on the removal of a Marine Colonel in command of a Regiment - during the assault on Baghdad..

This was a highly UNUSUAL occurance - especially during a combat operation...

However, it was not the first time his Commanding General, Maj. Gen. James N. Mattis removed a Battalion Commander during action......

Col.Joe W. Dowdy's Removal
