Army Secretary Christine Wormuth suspended one of the service’s top generals Friday following “credible allegations” that he improperly influenced a former subordinate’s command assessment, according to an official statement provided to Army Times.
Wormuth’s spokesperson, Col. Randee Farrell, said the secretary first learned this week of allegations that “Gen. Charles Hamilton, commanding general of Army Materiel Command (AMC), interfered in the Army’s Command Assessment Program (CAP) process last fall.” Military.com first reported the alleged misconduct.
Farrell added that the Army has referred the matter for review by the Defense Department’s inspector general.
“Secretary Wormuth has temporarily suspended General Hamilton from his duties as AMC Commander pending the outcome of the DoDIG review and assessment, and any subsequent investigation,” she said.
