Marine Corps fires DEI Osprey squadron’s command team over ‘loss of trust’

[Maximum Overkill 2,417]

The Marine Corps has relieved the command team of an MV-22 Osprey squadron based in Hawaii, citing a loss of trust and confidence in their ability to meet aviation standards, a service spokesman said. Lt. Col. Shaina Hennessey was relieved of command Tuesday of Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 268 at Marine Corps Air Station Kaneohe Bay, said 2nd Lt. B.K. Rhodes, a spokesman for the Okinawa-based 1st Marine Aircraft Wing. Hennessey was removed by wing commander Maj. Gen. Marcus Annibale due to a “loss of trust and confidence in her ability to uphold the safety and readiness standards expected in Marine Corps aviation,” Rhodes said in an email Thursday.

The squadron’s senior enlisted adviser, Sgt. Maj. Jamie Lampley, and its executive officer were also relieved that day, Rhodes said. He declined by phone Thursday to name the executive officer “out of respect for the position.” Rhodes declined to say why the other two leaders were fired. “We take accountability seriously in the Marine Corps, and we want to make sure that we maintain the trust of the American people and the integrity of our mission,” he said.

Is there any evidence that she is DEI as the thread title claims?

She joined the Marine Corps in 2007.

Women rank faster than Men in the Military, because of what?

Takes some balls for this mikitary to call anyone unqualified. The SOD is a drunk from Fox and Friends who shares war plans on Facebook.

The command team??? Sounds like a collective stand down.

Lt. Colonel. Probably loads of combat experience & decorated leading Marines.

What was the highest rank of the current Secretary of Defense?

It was and the OP didn't mention the others in the thread title because he couldn't claim that they were also DEI (although that may be coming).

Turns out Hegseth is the actual DEI hire.
