The official said that at least some of the four Marines are no longer in that battalion. He provided no other details.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta on Thursday condemned as "utterly deplorable" the actions in the video. He said such behavior is "entirely inappropriate for members of the United States military" and those responsible will be held accountable.
