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.

I remember both COLs when they were LTCs at Fort Riley, I served under LTC Meredith (Male) and the environment was not the best. It would seem the consequences of their actions finally caught up to them.

It's a shame the system lets leaders come this far before they are removed from position. The damage has been done. How many promising future CSMs and LTCs did we lose because they got out as SGTs and CPTs under their leadership? We'll never know....

Strong assertion SSG. Unfortunately, this will be dismissed as "what can you do?" More bureaucracy is the only answer I can think of... A new agency, similar to IG, that investigates their prior actions against their subordinates in an attempt to make amends. Nothing, however, prevents that new agency from becoming exactly like the thing it was created to repair. We need a fresh approach.
