On Aug. 26, 2022, the commander of the US Coast Guard Atlantic Area temporarily relieved Capt. Marc Brandt as the commanding officer of the cutter James, pending the outcome of an ongoing probe into a mishap on board the Legend-class vessel. Composite by Coffee or Die Magazine.

The US Coast Guard has relieved the commanding officer of the cutter James.

On Aug. 26, the commander of the sea service’s Atlantic Area, Vice Adm. Kevin Lunday, temporarily removed Capt. Marc Brandt from his duties and reassigned him to the three-star’s headquarters in Portsmouth, Virginia.

Brandt, 45, did not respond to Coffee or Die Magazine‘s messages seeking comment.

According to a prepared statement released a week after his relief, Brandt’s downfall is tied to an unspecified mishap on board the vessel that injured no one. The incident remains under investigation, but it triggered Lunday’s loss of confidence in Brandt’s ability to command the ship.

That or another navigation issue or maybe maintenance?

"Vice Adm. Kevin Lunday, commander of Coast Guard Atlantic Area, effected the relief due to a loss of confidence," the release noted.

Capt. John Driscoll was appointed to assume temporary command of the cutter “pending the results of an investigation into the mishap,” while Brandt has been “temporarily assigned” to Coast Guard Atlantic Area.

@GtHawk

Who do they think they are kidding? If the Admiral wants that officer canned,he is canned. After all,who is going to tell the Admiral in command that he can't can someone for any reason he wants,or even no reason at all?
