Yesterday I got the end of a CNN story about a Marine General being relieved of his command. a commentator said this was unprecedented and could not imagine a reason for such a drastic action. Since then I have seen no follow-up on CNN, BBC or the NYTimes. Would anyone care to comment?

Since no reason was given there is little to comment upon. Anything said would be purely speculative and without substance or merit.
I found something about a colonel James Dowdy being removed from a command postion:

No one seems to have info as to why exactly.
It is just speculation as someone else said, but sounds like this guy might have folded under the pressure of making combat decisions. His commander (
Mattis in the excerpt below), may have relieved him for not being "prepared".
