Navy SEALs to initiate 'trident review' of Gallagher and other SEALs in war crimes probe
San Diego-based Naval Special Warfare Command is initiating a so-called “trident review” of four SEALs involved in a closely watched war crimes case that divided the tight-knit SEAL community and became aAmong the SEALs coming under review, according to a Defense official with knowledge of the case, are Lt. Cmdr. Robert Breisch, Lt. Thomas MacNeil, Lt. Jacob Portier and Chief Petty Officer Edward R. Gallagher, who was restored in rank to chief by President Trump on Friday.
The reviews, officially called Navy classification reviews, are administrative actions by the command to determine if service members still qualify to remain in their current positions — in this case, as Navy SEALs.The reviews are being held under the orders from the commander of Naval Special Warfare Command, Rear Adm. Collin Green.
“We have implemented the President’s order to restore Chief Gallagher’s paygrade,” Lawrence said in the email. During the trial, a Navy SEAL medic who was on the scene in Iraq testified that he — not Gallagher — killed the fighter, after Gallagher stabbed the fighter. Portier, who was the commander of Gallagher’s platoon in Iraq, was accused of ordering his men to pose for a photo with the body of the deceased fighter. As his attorney frequently noted, however, he did not appear in any photos himself.
