The senior enlisted leader of Camp Pendleton-based I Marine Expeditionary Force was relieved of his duties Tuesday by I MEF commanding general Lt. Gen. George Smith, the Marines said in a statement.
Sgt. Maj. Terrence Whitcomb, a 28-year Marine Corps veteran, was relieved “due to loss of trust and confidence in his abilities to fulfill his assigned duties,” the statement said. He assumed the role of sergeant major for I MEF in May, according to his Marine Corps biography, after serving in the same role at the 1st Marine Division — also on Camp Pendleton. The sergeant major is an advisor to the commanding general of the Marine Expeditionary Force.
“Loss of trust and confidence” can signify a wide range of causes for relief. I MEF did not provide any additional details on what contributed to the decision to fire Whitcomb.

Loss of trust and confidence equates to caught in an adulterous situation more times than not.

"due to loss of trust and confidence in his abilities to fulfill his assigned duties". This usually means incompetence right?

I'd go with crossing the line of professionalism, such as having a relationship with a junior-ranking person below him in his chain.

It can be a myriad of things: Toxic leader, affairs, funds, and talking about the strategic aspects of the military that is beyond his/her pay scale.

Hopefully for violations of traditional military values and not the recent woke stuff. Sergeants Major are normally better than that, but I could see one crossing the new standards.
