Times staff



A Marine officer was killed March 26 in a vehicle accident in Iraq, Defense Department officials announced March 28.
It is unclear how Maj. Kevin G. Nave, 36, was killed in the incident, which was not combat-related, Defense Department officials said.

Nave was the battalion executive officer for 3rd Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, based at Camp Pendleton, Calif.

A native of Union Lake, Mich., Nave joined the Marine Corps in April 1989 and was assigned to Camp Pendleton in October 2001.

5th Marines is among the I Marine Expeditionary Force units involved in ongoing combat operations in central Iraq as part of the U.S. war to disarm Iraqi President Saddam Hussein’s regime of its weapons of mass destruction and end the regime’s leadership of Iraq.
