The commander of a Space Force base in Greenland has been relieved of her duties after comments made about Vice President J.D. Vance.
Space Force Col. Susannah Meyers, former head of the Pituffik Space Base, was removed from command on Thursday, Space Operations Command announced in a media release, citing “loss of confidence in her ability to lead.”
Meyers was pulled hours after a report revealed she sent an email distancing the U.S. military installation from Vance and the policies of the Trump administration.
Vance visited the Pituffik base during his March 28 trip to Greenland. Meyers’ message was sent days after the vice president’s departure.
In the Thursday report from Military.com, Meyers was identified as the one responsible for sending the email to all Pituffik personnel.
A commander who disparages leadership is not a competent leader and is a liability to the troops and the mission.
