Rear Adm. John C. Ring lost his job helming Joint Task Force-Guantanamo in Cuba because he “mishandled or directed the mishandling of classified information, made inaccurate reports, and created a poor command climate,†according to a statement released Thursday by U.S. Southern Command.
Adm. Craig Faller, SOUTHCOM’s commander, fired Ring on April 27, 43 days after launching a probe into allegations lodged against him, the release stated.
