Marine commandant to leaders: Quit the 'soft relief' of fired officers
Paul Szoldra
The top Marine officer has had enough of so-called "soft reliefs."
In a letter sent earlier this month to a wide swath of the Marine officer corps, commandant Gen. David Berger reminded everyone from general to lieutenant that they needed to hold Marines accountable with a paper trail.
"Any Marine relieved for cause or reassigned based on loss of confidence in ability to perform assigned tasks shall receive an adverse fitness report," Berger wrote in an Oct. 9 white letter obtained by Task & Purpose.
