The US Navy fired five officers from the service within a week

37

The US Navy has announced five officer resignations. Thus, the commander of the destroyer USS Preble, Peter Lesaka, was relieved of his post due to "loss of confidence in his ability to command." The headquarters of the Navy did not begin to tell the press the details of the dismissal of the senior officer, but noted that the command fleet adheres to high standards of personal and professional conduct. The same standards apply to officers at all levels, emphasize the command of the Navy.

After the commander's resignation, his duties will be carried out by Captain Larry Repass, who serves as deputy commander of the 23rd destroyer squadron. He will remain acting until the arrival of a new commander appointed by Naval Headquarters.



Earlier on June 11, the US Navy fired Captain Jeffrey Sandin, who commanded the Recruit Training Unit. The wording is still the same - "loss of confidence in your ability to command." True, the officer was not asked from the fleet, but was transferred to the headquarters of the training command of the naval forces. For now, Sandin's duties will be carried out by Captain Kertrek Brooks, Chief of Staff of the US Naval Training Command.

On June 10, the US Navy released officers from the command of the destroyer USS Bulkeley Cmdr. So, the commander of the ship Devine Johnson and the senior master Earl Sanders left their positions. Temporarily, the duties of the destroyer commander will be performed by Captain William Harkin, deputy commander of the 2nd destroyer squadron. Sanders will be replaced by Chief Petty Officer Christy Reed. Sami Johnson and Sanders will move to the headquarters of the command of the surface forces of the US Navy in the Atlantic.

Finally, Commander Matthew McCormin, who was commander of the 137th EW Squadron, was fired from his post. aviation US Navy. It was also written about him that he lost confidence in his ability to command. The officer was transferred to the electronic warfare unit at the Whidbey Island Naval Base in Washington state. Instead of McCormin, the squadron will be commanded for the time being by its senior officer, Commander Scott Maines.

Resignations in the US Navy, as in any other branch of the armed forces of any country in the world, are commonplace. But such a “starfall” of senior officers over the course of one week cannot but raise questions about the processes taking place in the US Navy and naval aviation.

          due to "loss of confidence in their ability to command"
          I like the wording, I’m trying to somehow connect it to reality, it turns out like “due to pregnancy” or “due to going on maternity leave” ... well, I’ll think again, maybe I’ll find another interpretation of the loss of confidence. For the US military, there is apparently a loss of confidence, something comparable to the loss of virginity. Once broke and lost confidence, with virginity as well.

        During the Cold War, when the Russians look at the United States through a slit of sights and radar screens, it is common to find at least some negative tendencies in the enemy in order to maintain their morale.
        But in fact, the topic of a damned egg is not worth it. Ordinary staffing.

        Yeah ... for 8 years they laughed at the eternally drunk APU in trousers, selling weapons to the right and left for a piece of bacon of a similar size ....

          And what isn't it? Tattooed Azov surrendered and everyone has such honest eyes (more than 3000 thousand)
          Now in Severodonetsk, "Aidars" and others have also entered the Soviet bunkers under 2000 and are waiting for something ..

          And that's how we present them! They got used to go and show off after art and avi .. Now quite a few rangers are dying of them, it’s not Iraq, Afghanistan and Yugoslavia for them .. They will wet them hard, so that there are no traces left ..
          We in Russia were VERY angry and our liberda especially felt it, they were running and whining in Israel and the Baltic states ..

      Yes, with such a huge number of employees in the US Navy, a simple transfer of five (not even a dismissal) definitely deserves a separate article on Military Review! laughing
      We are waiting for articles about the transfer of cooks from infantry to tankers ...

      well what the heck?
      The senior officers of the army through their channels are the first to know the information that we receive from the media. Let us remember Manstein, who retired from the service at the right time. If ship commanders leave for less dusty "office" work, then there is evidence that these ships will soon go to war. It smells like Taiwan.

    The wording is the same -loss of confidence in one's ability to command."

    What an "elegant" wording. Maybe in the Russian Federation can be applied? And in Ukraine - 100% will come in handy. Moreover, starting with Ze and all other admiral generals.

      Yes, it seems that our incentive is at the level of both the generals and the soldiers .. We have suffered humiliation and we are moving forward, but it’s difficult, but still .. The main thing is that politicians do not interfere with their whining, as I remember in the Caucasus ..
      The officers literally shouted "What are you doing?, we actually squeezed the militants into the mountains and we'll start hammering there ..?"
      Berezovsky with a drunken EBN and a Lebed who sold out He gave the order .. Leave !!!
      It was such a shame and then you know what started ..

    It was also written about him that he lost confidence in his ability to command.

    Strange wording can hide different things. For example, drugs, drunkenness.

      I tried to find information on the Internet about the levels and articles of dismissal in the United States, there is nothing close to "lost confidence in my ability to command" and there is nothing close by. Most likely, it’s like ours, for example, “violation of the terms of the contract by a serviceman,” and then the reason itself, which has nothing to do with the dismissal article, but explains the circumstances of the dismissal.

    Examples of these layoffs are worthy of respect and study. In any organization, especially a military one, there are people who need to be rejected. Otherwise, the caste of unsinkable officials will act only in their own interests.
    This information says that the aptitude control system in the United States is working. If officers and contractors have problems with the "psychology of war", then they turn into useless trained athletes. Once this idea was expressed by Count Ignatiev, watching the Norwegian arrows.

      This major general did much more for Russia than many baltuns in military uniform both in the Crimea and Syria and now in the Donbass ..
      And how much more will be done to protect Russia on its borders and in other parts of the world .. Yes, there was a brutal war in the Caucasus and who pitted us has long been known. Now we are united and we are crushing these on all fronts!

    Isn't this preparation for a war with China? They clean up the "weak and insecure." The more interesting is the transfer to other duty stations. The distribution of those who failed by fleets is interesting.

    So, these are not "layoffs" and not "resignations". It's called "downshifting": transfer to a position with fewer responsibilities, demotion ...
    In itself, such a decision indicates the ability of the Navy command to exercise control (translated into Russian - management).
    And we have?

    Well, I would not say that this is a "starfall". Dismissed officers in the rank of k. 1 p. - room 2 p. and even one ensign, one might say routine. Perhaps it has something to do with a series of plane crashes on the west coast?

    Well, no data, so wild guesses. The commander is able to command when he has the means of reward and punishment in his hands. If you deprive him of something from this short list, he will not be able to command, of course. And then large groups of people suddenly appeared in the US Army, who, in principle, cannot be punished, no matter what they do. The loss of confidence in the ability to command should sweep the US military like a plague. And it looks like it does.)

    Let's not be like banderlogs and consider every dismissal of a US officer a victory. They quit and quit - the flag is in their hands. This does not affect the combat capability of our enemy in any way.
