Air Force colonel in South Korea fired after just four months in command
Max Hauptman - Yesterday 1:39 PM
 
Colonel Jay Bertsch was, until October 11th, commander of the 8th Maintenance Group at Kunsan Air Base in South Korea.

The official reason for Bertsch’s relief, according to the Air Force Times, was due to a “loss of confidence” in his leadership. The Air Force did not respond to a request for comment from Task & Purpose.

Bertsch took command of the unit, responsible for maintaining two squadrons of F-16 Fighting Falcons assigned to the 8th Fighter Wing at Kunsan, on June 10.

“As a reflection of the importance of our mission and responsibility leaders bear to guide airmen, the Wolf Pack holds its leaders to a high standard,” 8th Fighter Wing spokesperson Capt. K. Paige Hankerson told Air Force Times in a statement. “Out of respect for the member and due to the legal process, no further information is to be provided at this time.”

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
