An explosion that killed seven Camp Lejeune Marines during a nighttime training exercise on March 18, 2013, was the result of human error and insufficient training, according to the results of a military investigation. Lt. Adam Flores, a spokesman for the Lejeune-based 2nd Marine Division, said Wednesday, Jan. 22, 2014 that the investigation found the deadly March 18 explosion was triggered when a Marine dropped a second round into an already loaded mortar tube during a live-fire exercise. Two officers and a noncommissioned officer were relieved of command following the explosion at Hawthorne Army Depot in Nevada. (AP Photo/Allen Breed, File)
