FILE - This Nov. 15, 2012 file photo shows Gen. Carter Ham, then-head of the U.S. Africa Command, at the University of Sciences Politiques, in Paris. Two of the four U.S. deaths in Benghazi might have been prevented if military leaders knew more about the intensity of the sporadic gunfire directed at the CIA facility where Americans had taken refuge and they had pressed to get a rescue team there faster. In closed-door, congressional testimony, now-retired Gen. Carter Ham and other top military commanders described the chaotic night of Sept. 11, 2012, in which they thought Americans were safe, not facing sometimes sustained gunfire throughout the night, and were focused on a potential hostage situation when, in fact, Ambassador Chris Stevens was already dead.

Officers say no ‘stand-down order’ for Benghazi

FILE - In this Sept. 14, 2012 file photo, President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton walk back to their seats during the Transfer of Remains Ceremony at Andrews Air Force Base, Md., marking the return to the United States of the remains of the four Americans in Benghazi, Libya. Newly revealed testimony from top military commanders involved in the U.S. response to the Benghazi attacks suggests that the perpetrators of a second, dawn attack on a CIA complex probably were different from those who penetrated the U.S. diplomatic mission the evening before and set it ablaze, killing Ambassador Chris Stevens and another American. The second attack, which killed two security contractors, showed clear military training, retired Gen. Carter Ham told Congress in closed-door testimony. (AP Photo/Carolyn Kaster)
