WASHINGTON, Aug. 17, 2001
CBS - According to the Defense Department, the Marines plan to buy 360 Ospreys for $40 billion in the next 12 years, with the Navy and Air Force picking up an additional 100.
A two-star general is among the eight Marine Corps officers charged with misconduct in the alleged falsification of maintenance records for the MV-22 Osprey aircraft, officials said Friday.
Maj. Gen. Dennis T. Krupp, commanding general of the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing, is charged with dereliction of duty on grounds that he knew or should have known of the falsification, they said.
