Berger has a wide array of experience from more traditional forms of nation-state conflict like Desert Storm in Iraq to counterinsurgency operations in Afghanistan.

He commanded Regimental Combat Team 8 in Fallujah, Iraq, as a colonel and in 2012 he commanded the 1st Marine Division in Afghanistan.

He received his third star in 2014, where he commanded I Marine Expeditionary Force and U.S. Marine Corps Forces, Pacific.

Berger is a graduate of Army Ranger School, Jumpmaster School, Navy Dive School and Marine Corps Amphibious Reconnaissance School.

His confirmation by the Senate will make this next commandant a “dual cool” one — it’s a term used by the recon community to describe Marines who have graduated from both dive and jump school.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — A University of Michigan violin professor whom students accused of sexual misconduct going back years has retired.

The Ann Arbor school told The Detroit News that Stephen Shipps retired on Feb. 28.

The school hired Shipps in 1989. He took a leave of absence on Dec. 7, three days before the Michigan Daily published a story in which students accused him of engaging in sexual relationships with teenage students, unwanted touching and making inappropriate statements.

Neither Shipps’ attorney, David Nacht, nor a school spokeswoman replied to messages seeking comment left by The Associated Press.

One of Shipps’ accusers told The Detroit News that she lost her virginity to Shipps when she was a 17-year-old high school student in the late 1970s, when Shipps was concertmaster of the Omaha Symphony in Nebraska.

About an hour after the department released the files, the Chicago PD reportedly became the subject of a court order that barred them from releasing further files, even though they were widely available online.

On "Outnumbered Overtime" Wednesday, former U.S. attorney Guy Lewis said this is "open warfare" between the Chicago Police Department and the Cook County State's Attorney's Office.

"[This] cannot be good for the people of Chicago. Frankly, I've never seen anything like this before," Lewis said.

He added that he would be "shocked" if all the records relating to the case were not eventually released to the public.

"The court's going to have to justify the sealing order. And in this particular case, which is so extraordinary, I think there's a really good argument for public access."
