The commander of the Air Force Research Laboratory, Maj. Gen. William Cooley, was relieved of command Wednesday, Air Force Materiel Command said in a release.
Gen. Arnold Bunch, the commander of AFMC, fired Cooley from command of the lab at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio “due to a loss of confidence in his ability to lead, related to alleged misconduct which is currently under investigation,†according to the Thursday news release.
AFMC spokesman Derek Kaufman said in a phone call that the Office of Special Investigations is investigating Cooley’s alleged misconduct. But Kaufman could not provide any more details about the misconduct because the investigation is still ongoing.
