Army two-star received verbal counseling for suspension incident
A two-star Army general removed from his position as U.S. Northern Command director of operations in 2023 received a verbal counseling for the incident and now works as a special assistant to the director of the Army Staff.
Army Times reported in July 2023 that Maj. Gen. Joseph Lestorti was suspended permanently from his NORTHCOM position due to a "loss of trust and confidence," as officials said at the time.
Army spokeswoman Cynthia Smith confirmed to Army Times on Monday that Lestorti had not faced any criminal charges or written reprimand because of the investigation.
"The investigation into Maj. Gen. Lestorti found that he demonstrated an act of counterproductive leadership," Smith wrote in an email statement. "Appropriate action was taken, and we consider the matter closed."
