Following a devastating rampage in which a reservist killed 18 people in Maine, an Army report revealed that three Army Reserve officers were disciplined for dereliction of duty. The report highlighted communication failures within the chain of command and between military and civilian hospitals as contributing factors to the tragedy.
The report, released on Tuesday, pointed out a series of failures by unit leadership, according to Lt. Gen. Jody Daniels, chief of the Army Reserves. The officers faced administrative actions that could impede their military advancement, although their identities were not disclosed.
