Space Force Col. Susan Meyers, commander of Pituffik Space Base in Greenland, sent out a base-wide email after a visit by Vice President J.D. Vance last month that undermined President Donald Trump’s position on the territory of Greenland as a vital national security interest being mismanaged by Denmark that would do better under the United States, according to a scoop by Military.com reporter Thomas Novelly published Thursday afternoon.
The visit by the vice president on March 28 was originally planned as a trip by Second Lady Usha Vance and a few Trump cabinet officials to attend a dogsled race but was changed after pushback by Greenland officials. Vance was added to his wife’s trip and the itinerary was changed to just a visit to Pituffik Space Base where he made remarks that were later distanced from by Col. Meyers in her email to base personnel.
Excerpt from the Military.com report:
Col. Susan Meyers, the commander of the 821st Space Base Group who also oversees the Pentagon’s northernmost military base, sent a March 31 message to all personnel at Pituffik seemingly aimed at generating unity among the airmen and Guardians, as well as the Canadians, Danes and Greenlanders who work there, following Vance’s appearance. She wrote that she “spent the weekend thinking about Friday’s visit — the actions taken, the words spoken, and how it must have affected each of you.”
“I do not presume to understand current politics, but what I do know is the concerns of the U.S. administration discussed by Vice President Vance on Friday are not reflective of Pituffik Space Base,” Meyers wrote in the email, which was communicated to Military.com.

She has since been relieved of command.
Excellent!
after being made to do an apology tour like they made Patton do.
public humiliation might take some of the wind out of her sail.
Nope. Kicked out. End of career...........
I’m impressed that she was held accountable.
Wow, this is the antithesis of leadership...
She wrote that she “spent the weekend thinking about Friday’s visit — the actions taken, the words spoken, and how it must have affected each of you. I do not presume to understand current politics, but what I do know is the concerns of the U.S. administration discussed by Vice President Vance on Friday are not reflective of Pituffik Space Base,”Space Force Col. Susan Meyers was relieved of her command at Pituffik Space Base in Greenland TODAY (April 10, 2025), for "loss of confidence in her ability to lead," as announced by Space Operations Command. The decision followed her sending an email on March 31, 2025, to base personnel, which appeared to contradict remarks made by Vice President JD Vance during his visit to the base on March 28, 2025.
"...loss of confidence in her ability to lead," -- no kidding! Seems like the military is now FULL of people who have no ability to lead.
