The Defense Department announced it had removed the commander of Pituffik Space Base in Greenland after she distanced herself from Vice President J.D. Vance's criticism of Denmark during his recent visit.
Vance lambasted Denmark leaders while visiting Greenland late last month, saying the Danish government had underinvested in the autonomous territory and in its security.
Just days after Vance visited Pituffik, installation commander Col. Susan Meyers sent out an email to staff saying the base did not agree with Vance's comments, Military.com reported.
Space Operations Command announced Thursday night that Meyers had been removed from her command at Pituffik.
"Colonel Susannah Meyers, commander of Pituffik Space Base was removed from command by Colonel Kenneth Klock, commander of Space Base Delta 1, on April 10, 2025 for loss of confidence in her ability to lead," Space Operations Command said in a statement.
"Commanders are expected to adhere to the highest standards of conduct, especially as it relates to remaining nonpartisan in the performance of their duties."
Chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell shared the statement on social media.
"Actions to undermine the chain of command or to subvert President Trump's agenda will not be tolerated at the Department of Defense," Parnell wrote on X with a copy of the Space Operations Command statement.
The statement said Meyers, who became the commander of the 821st Space Base Group last July, was replaced by Col. Shawn Lee. The 821st runs Pituffik.

Kramer.
Lol!
“Oh Susannah, I will not cry for you, you are suff’ring now from TDS, We have flushed you down with poo.”
Excellent. The rank insubordination never should have been tolerated during President Trump’s first term. I’m glad to see it is no longer tolerated.
Which brings me to my second point. Where is the massive purge of Leftists from the officer corps? That desperately needs to happen. THOUSANDS of them need to be chitcanned immediately. Get the rot out of the military.
Has she opened her OnlyFans account yet? Asking for a friend... /s
“ Time to repeal the 17th Amendment.”
Then the 19th.

They cannot
They must announce
In what universe did she think it would be OK to diss on the Vice President?
In the civilian sector anyone can be detailed anywhere for six months.
Would that work in the military?
I’ve said that for years. It was one of the starting points of the deep state.
Every Air Force member gets a short tour ribbon for short assignments like this when they deploy as a permanent party airman without family members.
I am sure some idiot will say this violated her free speech rights?
Did not know that. Wow. That is different. I wondered why every picture you see of any military person these days above E5 they look South American dictators.
I fully expect her to run for political office next.
It’s the libtard protocol:
1) Open mouth
2) insert foot
3) remove foot
4) pack bags
5) GTFO
Most career Air Force/Space Force members will do at least one short term assignment, for which he they get a ribbon.
Any additional short term assignment does not require a new ribbon. The first ribbon simply gets a metal pieced affixed to the front of it to show how many assignments like it thst the person has done.
I know there are tons of ribbons, but this is one I don’t mind seeing. I think the service members make a huge sacrifice being away in a remote spot, especially if they have families.
They can't help themselves, TDS has broken them
I will always remember the day before the 1968 election while standing in formation with my Company in the 82nd ABN DIV. The company First Sergeant reminded everybody there is no political speech authorized. “For you dummies that means no speech like “Hooray Nixon or fU Humphrey.” I thought to myself, “OK First Sergeant I know what you mean now.”
I grin every time I visualize that scenario in my head! Having known some very cynical, lowly enlisted in the military, I can just imagine the laconic delivery!
Yeah. Not sure I feel the same way, but I suppose if it is one ribbon with multiple elements added, I guess that is not so inflationary.
