Army backtracks on new job for general who was removed amid Fort Hood fallout
Kyle Rempfer
Army officials reversed an announcement Tuesday that the general removed in the wake of a scathing report on Fort Hood, Texas, would be made deputy commander of U.S. Army North.
Maj. Gen. Scott Efflandt will instead be reassigned as “the special assistant†to the commander of U.S. Army North, said Army spokeswoman Cynthia O. Smith. The announcement was published to the Defense Department’s website and has since been changed.
Smith said the “original announcement was wrong,†but did not say why the mistake had been made.
