WASHINGTON — The head of the Marine Corps suspended a top adviser accused of creating a “hostile work environment,” officials said Wednesday. Gen. Robert Neller, the commandant of the Marine Corps, said in a written statement that he took action against Brig. “We are committed to being an organization in which every Marine has the opportunity to serve at their full potential, unimpeded by discrimination, bias, or hostile working conditions,” Neller said. Neller said the Senate Armed Services Committee had asked Defence Secretary Jim Mattis to look into allegations of a hostile work environment. He also is a former deputy commander of Marine Corps Forces Europe and Africa.
