Court Martial For 4 More US Soldiers

So far, U.S. military investigators have recommended that seven of the eight soldiers be court-martialed. But the final decision on whether they will be court-martialed will be made by their brigade commander and then ultimately the commander of the U.S.-led coalition's southern region.
After arriving in Afghanistan, Chen was subjected to hazing by members of his unit, the 3rd Battalion, 21st Infantry Regiment, 1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division based inFort Wainwright, Alaska.
Chen's family has said that that investigators told them that he was forced to do excessive situps, pushups, runs and sprints carrying sandbags. On the day of his death, Chen reported to the guard tower without his helmet or adequate water and was forced to crawl about 100 yards (100 meters) across gravel carrying his equipment as his comrades threw rocks at him, a representative of Chen's family has quoted investigators as saying.
