A female Army officer was fired from command of a unit based at Joint Base Lewis-McChord amid allegations of multiple sexual assaults against several male subordinates and a pattern of sexual harassment, according to a service spokesperson.
Col. Meghann Sullivan served as commander of the 5th Brigade Engineer Battalion, 5th Security Force Assistance Brigade, at the base in Washington state. She was relieved of command Oct. 13, but this is the first time her firing has been reported.
Military.com first reported on her suspension and the subsequent investigation into her conduct in April. That reporting was part of the publication's investigation into the 5th SFAB, which uncovered potentially systemic issues with counterproductive leadership and performance and morale struggles among its rank and file.
The investigation into the 5th SFAB included reviewing an unredacted command climate survey in addition to hundreds of internal Army emails, voice recordings, videos and text messages. The brigade's commander, Col. Jonathan Chung, was later fired and left the service.
Sullivan, who did not immediately return a request for comment, is still in the service and was reassigned to I Corps, based out of the same installation. She is seemingly NOT facing a court-martial, according to a Military.com review of the public-facing court docket. It was unclear whether she had hired an attorney.
The former commander faced allegations of assaulting at least two male subordinates and harassing several others, with some of those incidents allegedly tied to alcohol abuse, according to one source with direct knowledge of the situation. One of those instances allegedly involved forcefully kissing one of the males, and grabbing another below the belt without his consent.

Sullivan said shortly after the time of her assignment:
“I’ve been in the Army over twenty years as an engineer, diversity and inclusion makes us stronger. I am excited for young women to see that you can look and act different and be successful – I’d tell these women, don’t let anyone put a cap on you.”
LOL. She should have added "Don't go all kissy-face and crotch-grabby with your subordinates and you'll do fine."
How can she be fired from command and STILL be in the service and reassigned?
These "SFAB battalions" sound like make-work jobs for DEI hires. From the same article:
Sullivan was the first woman to take command of an SFAB battalion. Those new units, created between 2017 and 2020, work with established foreign allied forces, assist in training, and develop ways the U.S. can partner with those forces.
The unique units sport a brown beret and "advisor" tab. Each SFAB focuses on a specific region, with the 5th SFAB's area of responsibility being the Pacific. It partners with Australia, Japan, Mongolia and other nations that could be critical in a conflict with China
[Aside: We are partnered with MONGOLIA? A landlocked nation of THREE million people between Russia and China?]
she’s a low blow to the female officer ranks
Troubles in the Matriarchy are there?
Must be all the queers they've recruited.
Can a straight soldier’s career survive an accusation of pervo harassment from some rainbow pervert male officer?
Do we have a picture of her?
She looks good, but sure puts the hetero guys in a tough spot. They have to ask themselves “Do I give in, enjoy a few minutes, maybe get courtmartialed and dishonorably discharged? Or do I resist and get latrine duty forever?”
Maybe it was a tranny, who the PC military bureaucrats were calling "a woman."
Responsibility2nd and gundog posted a couple of pics in #4 and #5.
At least she didn’t stab them 109 times.
Sullivan was the first woman to take command of an SFAB battalion.
Maybe some of the underlings were married men, so they’d object strongly. Anyway, we may never know the details.
She looks
Like fun.
Boys and girls will be boys and girls.
Just because you put them in a uniform does not change the basic nature of boys and girls.
When you have many young boys and girls together, sex becomes a biologically programmed part of the social interactions. It’s what most are thinking about several times every hour (statistics vary greatly BUT all show it’s often), even if they do not talk about it. It’s a biological programmed / instinctual and you cannot even blame the people in all reality.
The problems we have today are because of stupid policies that pretend humans are robots and can turn biology off.
This is a case where you have a society disconnected from reality actually believing their own BS!
We think that these young people are like the folks in Star Trek, where they pontificate their way through every problem, are sensitive to each others feelings, using their strength in diversity, while wearing sexy skin tight spandex outfits but never thinking about sex: https://www.geekgirlauthority.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Bridge-Crew-TNG-1200x640.jpg
WTG, SFAB...
Reminds me of school teachers and me asking the very same question, where the hell were these women when I was in!? I’m not muttering a peep!
Yes, another BIG FIRST! I’m sure they will all be crowing about this one from the rooftops like they do with all their stupid “Firsts.”
She was probably fired because she went after males only.
