The commander of an Air Force maintenance squadron at Dyess Air Force Base in Texas was fired this week, just two months into his new role, after officials lost faith in his abilities to lead.
Lt. Col. Brian Milner, the commander of the 9th Bomb Squadron, was relieved of command on Monday due to "a loss of confidence in his ability to complete the assigned duties," a spokesman for the 7th Bomb Wing told Military.com.
Lt. Col. Ryan Stillwell took over the command position and will be the permanent replacement, per the base.
A vague, three-sentence statement from the 7th Bomb Wing on Monday said the squadron commander was removed from leadership and did not name the officer nor his replacement. The statement also added they would not be disclosing any additional information, claiming to "protect the privacy of the individual, further details will not be released."
