Two U.S. Marines attached to a unit from Iwakuni Marine Corps Air Station, Japan, will return to Australia later this month following their arrests on separate charges filed by a Townsville, Australia, court in early February.
Lance Cpl. Craig Meeks, 21, charged with attempted murder, and Staff Sgt. Beryl Wilson Jr., 33, charged with assault “occasioning bodily harm while armed,” currently are detained on Okinawa, a Marine Corps staff judge advocate official confirmed Thursday. They were in Iwakuni as part of a Unit Deployment Program.
Both Marines were in Australia for Operation Southern Frontier 2004 training exercise with Iwakuni’s Marine Air Logistics Squadron 12.
