Married colonels at Fort Hood fired following criminal investigations

AUSTIN, Texas — Col. Ann Meredith has been fired as commander of the 89th Military Police Brigade at Fort Hood, as she and her husband, also a colonel fired from his command post, faced separate criminal investigations, officials at the Texas base said Thursday.

Meredith has been suspended since Jan. 5, and Lt. Gen. Sean C. Bernabe, commander of III Corps and Fort Hood, decided Tuesday to relieve her command “due to a loss of confidence in her judgment following an investigation,” said Lt. Col. Tania P. Donovan, spokeswoman for III Corps.

Meredith had been on the job since July and Lt. Col. Jeremy Prince is serving as acting brigade commander.

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

Didn't Ft. Hood get renamed? :shrug:
