Fake chips
Giardina is accused of having used fake poker chips at Horseshoe de Council Bluffs Casino in Iowa.
The vice-admiral has joined the army 34 years ago and served as a second commander of the Pacific Fleet, prior to being assigned to his current position in 2011.
The Iowa authorities launched an investigation on Giardina in June, after being alerted that he had used fake poker chips at Horseshoe Casino.
