Camp Zama commander relieved of duty

YOKOTA AIR BASE, Japan — The Army has relieved the commander of its largest base in Japan after an investigation into alleged misconduct, according to a U.S. Army Japan press statement sent late Friday.

The investigation had been ongoing since June 7, when Col. Eric Tilley was suspended from his job as commander of U.S. Army Garrison Japan.

Maj. Gen. James C. Boozer, Sr., commander of U.S. Army Japan and I Corps (Forward), officially relieved Tilley on Friday for “lack of confidence” based on the results of the inquiry, according to the press statement.

The statement provided no other details. Reached via email, U.S. Army Japan spokesman Maj. Kevin Toner said, "…it would be inappropriate to make public the allegations because the investigation did not lead to findings of criminal misconduct."

The Tilley inquiry was not related to Boozer’s predecessor, Maj. Gen. Michael T. Harrison, Toner said. Harrison was also suspended in June while officials looked into whether he may have failed to report or properly investigate a sexual assault claim.

Toner would not address rumors that other officials have been relieved of their duties from Camp Zama as a result of alleged misconduct, nor did he elaborate on what had happened to Tilley’s civilian deputy, Jeffrey Wertz, who was temporarily detailed to other duties in June during a misconduct investigation.

Col. Joy Curriera has been appointed to the position of garrison commander at Zama.

Correction: A previous version of this story incorrectly stated Col. Joy Curriera's title as being U.S. Army Japan Commander.

I don’t know why I sense it, but I think it’s the Pink Swastika flexing its muscle.

This disgusts me. I have a friend serving overseas and this thug administration is doing its best to disarm and kill our military.

Since this period in our history is analogous to the Middle Empire, 60 personnel would be more appropriate than 100.

The Centuriate of 100 was a republican T O & E.

"Misconduct"? And who exactly takes the First Place trophy for misconduct? Yeah, the Commander-In-Chief!

The 'Great Purge' continues.. The question is, How does this end?

"Col. Joy Curriera has been appointed to the position of garrison commander at Zama."

New boss is second from left.

I work for a large defense contractor. the majority of the engineers are white men, a growing percentage white female, and a growing percentage Asian and some indian.
very few other minorities because when we’ve brought any in (btw, its amazing that there are close to zero African American men with engineering degrees), they just cannot do the job.
however, in any type of admin position, there is a purge, bringing in managers who are mostly black female. old white managers are being offered retirement packages. a friend of mine, employed there for over thirty years, had two hundred people, then told we’re taking everyone away and you’re going to be an individual contributor. he retired.

I have a feeling it’s either much ado about nothing or more Chuck Hagel than Obama. My guess is it’s more to do with expressing their displeasure to somebody about gays in the Military.

From Wiki (2011 figures)

U.S Army 438,000 enlisted 98,000 officers
U.S Marine Corp 170,000 enlisted 21,000 officers
U.S Navy 260,000 enlisted 52,000 officers
U.S Air Force 265,000 enlisted 64,000 officers

The U.S Army officer pool, 5% are O-6 (Colonel), .5% are 3 Star Generals.

So one O-6 in the Army being booted out represents .01% (assuming the unattributed figure of 10,000 Army Colonels, 5%)
