A Marine general fired the commander, executive officer and senior enlisted leader for an Osprey squadron in Hawaii last week “due to a loss of trust” in their ability to uphold safety and readiness standards, according to a statement provided Monday to Marine Corps Times.
Maj. Gen. Marcus Annibale relieved commander Lt. Col. Shaina Hennessey, Sgt. Maj. Jamie Lampley and the executive officer, who was not named in the statement.
The three led Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 268, based out of Marine Corps Air Station Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii, until being fired Oct. 28.
“We hold ourselves to the highest standards of performance, addressing challenges head-on to uphold operational excellence,” read the statement provided by Maj. Joseph Butterfield, 1st Marine Aircraft Wing spokesman. “We are committed to implementing best practices and policies that ensure a strong coupling of well-prepared pilots and crews with safe, mission-ready aircraft.”
No further details were provided for the action.
