Eight airmen disciplined following inquiry into Manda Bay attack

The Department of the Air Force disciplined eight service members following the conclusion of two concurrent investigations into the Manda Bay attack in Kenya that left three Americans dead.

Investigators found that while there was no criminal behavior that created the conditions that allowed the attack to happen, there was a culture of complacency on the base. U.S. Army Spc. Henry Mayfield Jr. and two contractors, Bruce Triplett and Dustin Harrison, were killed. So were five terrorists, but not before they were able to destroy seven aircraft.
