The US Air
Force dismissed two undisciplined commanders from its nuclear missile
corps on Monday, a move taken in response to a string of leadership
lapses in the nuclear department, a report said.
Colonel Carl Jones was the most senior officer who was sacked “for
loss of trust and confidence in his leadership abilities,” the Associated Press reported.Jones was in charge of 150 of the Air Force’s 450 Minuteman 3 nuclear intercontinental ballistic missiles at the 90th Missile Wing at F.E. Warren Air Force Base, Wyoming.
The second commander, Lieutenant Colonel Jimmy Keith Brown, was also relieved of command for the same reason.
According to Air Force officials, Brown was also “engaged in unlawful discrimination or harassment" of his staff.
There was also a third commander, Colonel Michael Pagliuco, who was not dismissed but received some disciplinary action.
Pagliuco is in charge of the three missile squadrons at Minot Air Force Base, North Dakota, which is also responsible for 150 Minuteman 3 missiles.
The US Air Force has been rocked by a series of scandals in the past two years. Last year, a high-ranking military commander responsible for America’s nuclear arsenal was fired for illegal gambling activities.
In January, top US military officials began a series of meetings to discuss and solve systematic personnel problems in the Air Force’s nuclear missile corps.
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel had gathered top nuclear leaders of the Air Force and Navy to work on the issues. The problems caused by Air Force nuclear missiles staff ranged from low morale to cheating and serious security lapses.
The Air Force announced in January that dozens of nuclear launch officers across six US Air Force bases were caught in a drug and cheating scandal.
Air Force Secretary Deborah Lee James said a drug probe had been widened to include cheating on regular proficiency tests that service members have to take monthly.
He added that the cheating was done by text messages through which officers exchanged knowledge of how to operate the missiles.
