The
Marine Corps said the accident involved an Amphibious Combat
Vehicle and occurred on Tuesday.
"The rollover occurred at around 6 p.m. local time as the
vehicle was making a ground movement during training," a
statement added.
The Marine killed was not identified. The injured were taken to
hospitals for evaluation and treatment.
Training accidents involving U.S. military personnel can draw
intense scrutiny, including last month's crash of a tilt-rotor
V-22 Osprey aircraft off the coast of Japan that killed eight
people aboard. That crash renewed Japanese concerns about the
safety of the aircraft and led the U.S. military to ground its
entire fleet of V-22s.
Last year, a military truck overturned near Camp Lejeune in
North Carolina, killing two U.S. Marines and injuring 17 others.
