BLOODBATH FOR NAVY SKIPPERS

In the last 13 months, 20 Navy commanding officers have been fired -- more than in the last three years combined. Navy Times explores why.
THERE'S MORE: The paper is also reporting that "tons of Marine Corps materiel stored during the Cold War in Norwegian caves is being dusted off for duty in the hot combat zones of Iraq."

In March, Marine Forces Europe will begin shipping an undisclosed number of vehicles, ammunition and food supplies from Norway to support I Marine Expeditionary Forces deployment in Iraq, said Lt. Col. Joseph Rizzo, the commands operations officer.
That shipment will be coupled with about 1,000 Marines from 1st Force Service Support Group from Camp Pendleton, Calif., and vehicles and other equipment already arriving in Kuwait."
