Army General Pressured Assessment Panel to Help Career of 'Ineffective' Officer

One of the Army's top generals may have abused his authority and subverted the service's process for selecting senior leadership in what some officials have described to Military.com as a conspiracy to prop up a subordinate officer who was deemed unfit for command.

A Military.com investigation found that Gen. Charles Hamilton, who oversees Army Materiel Command, spent about a month last year trying to pull strings behind the scenes for a female lieutenant colonel to breeze through the service's Battalion Commander Assessment Program, or BCAP. This included directly lobbying at least three generals on the assessment panel and successfully pushing officials to let the lieutenant colonel get a second board two days after she failed the first.

The interference became so egregious that the director of the Army Command Assessment Program, Col. Robert O'Brien, penned a memo chronicling Hamilton's conduct on Nov. 1, immediately after the lieutenant colonel was deemed unfit twice in two assessment panels within 48 hours.

Did the General see it as a DEI "promotion?" :pondering:

The General is DEI himself, so this was likely a "side squeeze" promotion effort.

@Timber Rattler

The 4 star General does not have ONE single combat award of ANY type.

HTF did he make 4 star General. Was it because he is black and gave good head?

What's a "DEI" promotion?
