WASHINGTON — The Air Force has fired the commander of its largest combat camera squadron due to the unit’s poor command climate, service leaders said Wednesday.

Lt. Col. Jamie Humphries of Washington state was relieved as commander of the 1st Combat Camera Squadron on Tuesday “following a careful and deliberate assessment of the current command climate,” Air Force spokeswoman Ann Stefanek wrote in an email.

“This decision was not taken lightly and is intended to ensure the squadron has the leadership and management required to foster a positive and productive work environment as the unit conducts its important mission,” she said.

Stefanek did not give further details about the climate at the squadron, which is based at Joint Base Charleston, S.C. She said Brig. Gen. Patrick S. Ryder, director of Air Force public affairs, made the decision.

It seems like alot of senior military officers are getting deep sixed because of "poor command climate."  Is it really that or is it traditional military vs. snowflake military and the snowflakes are winning?

Woke "leadership" as well...many are incompetent at leadership, yet still manage to climb the ranks and are ill equipped to handle the responsibilities.  They turn into petty tyrants.
