He would not detail the number of troops or the unit involved in the deployment, citing Pentagon policy.
Anthony Aguto, a commander of the unit involved in the ambush, said the unit was investigating the incident and was unaware of any civilian deaths.
He was transferred to the Manhattan Gang Investigative Division, the unit involved in the shooting, in July 1999 and was promoted to detective on Oct. 26.
"The problem is that these people are illiterate and uneducated," said General Safi, the military prosecutor, speaking of the police, particularly the unit involved in the case.
Although no shots were fired, the incident has resonated in part because the officers involved work for the Gang Investigations Division, the unit involved in the shooting death of Patrick M. Dorismond this month.
Mr. Kurer, UBS's former general counsel, and Mr. Rohner, the former leader of the unit involved with the inquiry, quit after UBS admitted it made "mistakes" by helping clients evade American taxes from 2000 to 2007.
The report's findings have been sent to the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, which is investigating members of the unit involved in the killings, as well as higher-ranking officers in the Second Marine Division.
The Marine Corps did not release the results of its investigation into the episode because, officials said, there were continuing inquiries about higher-ranking officers in the unit involved, which was part of the Third Battalion, Second Marine Regiment, based in Camp Lejeune, N.C.
The report, which was completed on Aug. 13 and declassified in recent days to allow military officials to brief family members of those who were killed, did not assign blame to any commanders of the unit involved — the Second Battalion, 503rd Infantry Regiment, 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team — a unit that was in the final days of a 15-month deployment when the attack took place.
Other languages, including Spanish, are planned for later in 2016 - but this will depend on the unit involved securing enough funds when its budget is refreshed in April.
