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.

This was all planned before J D Vance landed at the base and it didn't matter what J D said.
That Civil War in East Laquania in Central Africa needs her now.
She is drafted—no cushy civilian job!
And from Novermber to February it's also dark.
I still have a question about the bravery of women officers. I am no expert but I don’t think I have ever heard an anecdote of a woman officer following or leading men into the breach to perish with them as so many male officers have done. Or covering the body of a fallen fellow soldier to take the incoming rounds. That sort of thing. I just don’t see it. And, that is a key piece of military training that the man next to you will give his life for the mission and for your life.
