An Army officer was fired from her command due to a pattern of sexual harassment and assault against male subordinates, according to a report first published by Military.com.
Col. Meghann Sullivan was relieved of her command of the 5th Security Force Assistance Brigade’s Engineer Battalion last fall by Maj. Gen. Donn Hill, the Security Force Assistance Command commander, according to a statement from SFAC. Sullivan’s firing at the time was cited “due to a lack of confidence” in her ability to command.
Sullivan did not immediately respond to questions conveyed through I Corps public affairs or SFAC public affairs. The 5th SFAB, which is based out of Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington state, is a hub for Indo-Pacific operations. Sullivan, a West Point graduate, was the first woman to ever lead an SFAB battalion, according to the 5th SFAB.
