PARRIS ISLAND — A leadership shakeup has resulted in the ouster of two senior leaders at the Marine training base on Parris Island.
The commanding officer and sergeant major of the Recruit Training Regiment were both relieved of their command July 5 due to a “loss of trust and confidence,” according to a statement released July 17 by Maj. Philip Kulczewski, spokesman for Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island.
Although the two men were not identified in the statement, they were later confirmed as Col. Bradley Ward and Sgt. Maj. Fabian Casillas. Ward’s removal comes as his assignment on the base was nearing its end.
