The rollover happened around 6 p.m. Tuesday at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton during a ground movement training.
The Marine who died won't be identified until family is notified per military policy, and was assigned to the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit, the military said.
A Marine Corps investigation found that inadequate training, shabby maintenance and poor judgment by leaders were to blame for the sinking.
The Marines use amphibious vehicles to transport troops and their equipment from Navy ships to land. The armored vehicles outfitted with machine guns and grenade launchers look like tanks as they roll ashore for beach attacks, with Marines running out of them to take up positions.
