Jason Rother
Jason Rother (July 16, 1969 – August 31, 1988) was a 19-year-old United States Marine Corps Lance Corporal who was abandoned in the harsh Mojave desert during a training exercise and died from dehydration and exposure. His death is now commonly used as a lesson taught to members of the military about the importance of accountability and responsibility.
==Incident==
Rother was assigned to Kilo Company, Third Battalion, Second Marine Regiment, Second Marine Division (K 3/2) based out of Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. In August 1988 the unit was sent to the massive Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center Twentynine Palms (MCAGCC) for desert warfare training in the Mojave desert. 1stLt Allen Lawson, a native of Flint, Michigan, was assigned the task of posting road guards on the night of August 30, 1988 along the route position of a battalion night movement exercise. Lawson disobeyed the order to place road guards in pairs, got lost, forgot where he had placed LCpl Rother, and upon the completion of the exercise failed to mention that Rother was missing, as did two sergeants responsible for LCpl Rother, Sgts Thomas Turnell and Christopher Clyde. It was over 40 hours before anyone in the battalion knew, or said, that Rother was missing. Several searches were launched with over 1,000 Marines on foot, helicopters, and thermal imaging gear. Rother was not carrying a map or compass and had very little water, and weighed only 135 lbs. The first search discovered he had left behind some of his gear and made an arrow out of stones where he had originally been dropped off. That search, and several others, however failed to locate him. LCpl Rother's remains would not be found until December 4th, four months after his disappearance. All that was left were his skeletal remains. It was believed that Rother likely died less than 24 hours before the first search was launched and that the temperature on the day had reached 107 degrees Fahrenheit. After tracing the distance, Rother had hiked over 17 miles and was only two miles from the base where his remains were found.
