The U.S. Air Force relieved six leaders from their positions at a nuclear base in North Dakota but offered few details about why they were removed.
A brief press release said Maj. Gen. Andrew J. Gebara, commander of 8th Air Force, removed two commanders from their positions of leadership at Minot Air Force Base on Monday.
Task and Purpose identified the these leaders as Col. Gregory Mayer, who led the 5th Mission Support Group, and Maj. Jonathan Welch, commander of the 5th Logistics Readiness Squadron.
They were removed “due to a loss of confidence in their ability to complete their assigned duties,” the 8th Air Force said.
The 5th Mission Support Group, which has about 1,600 military and civilian members, focuses on “delivering essential installation mission support and community service, securing our resources, providing proper care of base facilities and infrastructure, while developing combat-ready airmen,” per the base website. It serves the 5th Bomb Wing, 91st Missile Wing, and other units.
Four subordinate leaders were also relieved of duty by commanders at the base, but the 8th Air Force statement did not provide specifics about the circumstances of their removal. Overall, the 8th Air Force said further details would not be released to protect their privacy.
“These personnel actions were necessary to maintain the very high standards we demand of those units entrusted with supporting our Nation’s nuclear mission,” Gebara said in a statement provided by the 8th Air Force.

Does this have anything to do with the recent Chinese spy balloon passing over the base?
Regime purge to remove patriots is my guess.
Hmmm? Things that go pop?
They’re not saying anything about ‘why.’
MULTI-DIVERSE REPLACEMENTS should be interesting———
I'll bet it did. I'm guessing they were a bit too vocal in asking why it was being allowed.
Used wrong pronouns?
Do whut? A colonel and a major and their team?
Yeah, this looks like higher ups being afraid of a coup
Tried to report UFO sightings over the base to the Congressional Committee is my guess—their communications were probably monitored and the Air Force has some deep dark secrets to keep...
A similar thing happened where I was stationed in the 70s.
Several officers were reassigned suddenly without prior notice.
Scuttlebutt was they were having affairs with each others wives..............
They waved and smiled at the Chinese cameras.
That scene in War Games always made me chuckle. Or what? You shoot me and the key still doesn’t get turned. The terminals were too far apart from each other for one person to turn both keys.
In “The Day After” they actually used real footage of a drill where they did a launch, at the time, they don’t know if it’s a drill or not.
