Washington (CNN) The former top US Marine Corps general in Iraq treated his female aide-de-camp like a "servant," according to one witness cited in an Inspector General's investigation that concluded the commander violated ethics regulations by routinely asking the officer to pick up his laundry, deliver meals, reserve gym equipment and carry personal items.

In a report released on Thursday, the IG said it substantiated allegations that Brig. Gen. Rick Uribe allowed his aide "to perform activities other than those required in the performance of official duties and that he solicited and accepted gifts from employees who received less pay than himself," between May 2016 and June 2017.

"The Department of Defense Inspector General ... has substantiated allegations against Brig. Gen. Rick A. Uribe, a General Officer currently serving within the US Marine Corps Forces, Pacific ... chain of command," the Pentagon said in a statement to CNN. "The Marine Corps takes all allegations of misconduct seriously, and this case is being adjudicated by the chain of command."

An initial complaint was filed against Brig. Gen. Uribe in June 2017 while he was serving as the Deputy Commanding General for Operations-Baghdad, and Director, Combined Joint Operations Center, Baghdad, Combined Joint Forces Land Component Command, Iraq.
