I swear, there must be something in the water out there in the northern Great Plains.<\/p>\n

The USAF has relieved two more key nuclear missile unit leaders.\u00a0\u00a0 One was a Wing Vice-Comander; the other, a Squadron Commander.\u00a0 A third senior leader – a Colonel\u00a0 – was investigated also, but managed to keep his command.\u00a0 However, he has been given a formal reprimand which almost certainly will end his career.<\/p>\n

Relieved of duties were Col. Carl Jones, Vice-Commander of the 90th Missile Wing, FE Warren AFB, WY; and Lt. Col. Jimmy \u201cKeith\u201d Brown, a missile squadron commander with the 91st Missile Wing at Minot AFB, ND.<\/p>\n

The third individual, Col. Richard Pagliuco, is the Commander of the 91st Missile Operations Group at Minot.\u00a0 He was allowed to continue in command after receiving his reprimand.<\/p>\n

Details are sketchy, but are found in this article<\/a> from the Air Force Times<\/span>.\u00a0 Best I can tell, from article at least one of the two that were relieved – Col. Jones – appears certainly to have deserved to take a fall; Lt. Col.\u00a0Brown appears likely to have deserved the same.\u00a0 There isn’t as much info available about why Col. Pagliuco was reprimanded other than the rather nebulous statement that he had \u201cfailed to promote and safeguard the morale, well-being and welfare of the airmen under his command.\u201d\u00a0 Maybe he got nailed for not providing better supervision to Lt. Col. Brown; dunno.<\/p>\n

Yeah, it looks like there are still some issues out there in the USAF’s “Nuclear Kingdom”.\u00a0 Let’s hope they can square those away posthaste.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
