The Utah National Guard says it’s disciplining four soldiers for their unauthorized involvement in a risque video featuring bikini-clad British women firing high-powered weapons and riding in tanks for a pinup calendar.

Guard Lt. Col. Steven Fairbourn said Saturday that a 19th Special Forces non-commissioned officer who inappropriately allowed the video to be partially shot at Camp Williams in May has been relieved of his leadership position and faces a mandatory early retirement.

Fairbourn says the three other soldiers will receive lesser measures ranging from mandatory counselling to a reprimand. The $200 cost for military fuel used during the shoot also will be recouped from them.

An internal investigation completed Friday found the unauthorized Guard support was limited to five vehicles and one boat used as props for the shoot.
