Page, 23, of Peerysburg, Ohio, is accused in the death of Spc. Adrian M. Perkins, 19, of Pine Valley, Calif.
Military documents say Page shot Perkins with an M4 rifle at Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Al-Azraq, Jordan, on May 15. Perkins died at a hospital in Amman, Jordan.
Page is charged with murder, manslaughter, negligent homicide and failure to obey an order or regulation.
