The commander of a key depot maintenance group at Hill Air Force Base in Utah has been fired, and is under investigation by the Office of Special Investigations, the base confirmed Thursday.
Col. Chris Boring was relieved of command of the 309th Aircraft Maintenance Group on March 4 "due to a loss of confidence in his ability to lead and command a group," Hill spokesman Thomas Mullican said. The investigation into Boring is ongoing, he said, and declined to comment further.
It is the second time in less than a year that the 309th, which is part of Hill's Ogden Air Logistics Complex, has lost a commander due to a loss of confidence, a term that military commanders typically use to explain why they have fired a subordinate commander, without specifically naming the reason why. Mullican said the previous commander, Col. Randy Ackerman, was relieved of command last May. He would not say anything more about why Ackerman was fired.
