An Army two-star general working for the Joint Staff was quietly removed in early January due to a law enforcement investigation that resulted in three assault charges, all of which were dismissed this month.
Maj. Gen. Joseph E. Whitlock was accused of domestic abuse and conduct unbecoming an officer, an attorney for the general confirmed. Whitlock was investigated by Army CID regarding multiple incidents, all of which he denied.
Maj. Gen. Omar J. Jones, commander of the Army Military District of Washington, D.C., directed an Article 32 hearing based on the investigation’s findings, according to Army spokeswoman Cynthia O. Smith.
