The commanding officer of the Marine Corps' Wounded Warrior Regiment has been removed from his post, Marine officials confirmed Friday. Col. T. Shane "Rhino" Tomko, 52, was relieved Feb. 12 by Marine and Family Programs Director Brig. Gen. Russell Sanborn "due to a loss of confidence in his leadership," Maj. Rob Dolan, a spokesman for Marine Corps Manpower and Reserve Affairs, said in a statement.

Dolan said additional details could not be provided due to an ongoing Marine Corps investigation. Attempts to contact Tomko were not immediately successful. Following his relief, Tomko was temporarily assigned to M and RA staff at Quantico, Dolan said. The Wounded Warrior Regiment's executive office, Lt. Col. Eric O'Harra, was appointed to serve as interim commander.
