STUTTGART, Germany — The leader of a Germany-based brigade that maintains vast amounts of Army weaponry and supplies has been quietly fired from her position.
Col. Crystal Hills was removed as commander of the 405th Army Field Support Brigade by Maj. Gen. David Wilson, head of Army Sustainment Command, the service said in a statement late Monday.
Wilson fired Hills “due to loss of trust and confidence in her ability to command,” said Kimberly Conrad, a spokeswoman for Army Sustainment Command.
The command refused to say when Hills was fired or who, if anyone, has replaced her at the helm of a unit that plays a key role in ensuring U.S. soldiers are supplied across Europe and Africa. The unit’s mission also involves oversight of a network of pre-positioned weapons depots at locations across Europe. Those sites have played an important role for infantry units rotating in and out of Europe on missions to deter potential Russian aggression against NATO member territory.
The Kaiserslautern-based brigade’s website lists Hills’ former job as vacant. The Army also did not specify where Hills was reassigned.
Hills’ relief is the latest in a string of exits for leaders of brigades, units that serve as the operational backbone of the Army. In the past few years, colonels have been removed from command for reasons varying from toxic leadership to inappropriate relationships and bad judgment in general.

Oh, wow…this was probably a Democrat turned Trump supporter. There is no way in hell Biden’s military would fire a black female commander no matter how incompetent.
Probably going to be the new “Aide” to Lloyd Austin, (Callsign, “Knob”).
So...she was a loyal and patriotic American?
Maybe they found out she voted for Trump.
I’m fairly sure that the Army doesn’t have any nukes left in Europe since the ground launched cruise missiles and Pershing IIs were scrapped post 1990 and all the artillery nukes were withdrawn by Bush 1 during the same period. And all of those nukes have been dismantled.
Yay, DIVERSITY!!!
WHAT THE H IS “PROFESSIONAL ENGLISH”????
If the last inventory check was short, would they tell us?
(he!! no)
I’m wondering if it isn’t a version of English that sounds less like the male way of talking.
maybe she had a backbone and the libtard generals didn't like it.....
we don't know why she was fired...
While what you replied has some truth, I have personally seen to many bad results from diversity and sex based hiring to not suspect it.
Right. In today’s American “military” you can’t tell if someone get’s fired for being a good conservative or if they suck too bad for even the corrupt brass.
Not likely, but maybe she is one who endorses MAGA. They have been purging MAGA types for a while, I’m told.

Could have been she was sane and good and conservative. We don’t know.
What a pity. She was supposed to help take Crimea back for the Ukrainian Nazis.
Are you drunk posting? That was a weird post.
40 years ago it was called “Business English”. It was a common series of classes for anyone in a business related major, but I never met anyone who was a Business English major.
Congratulations on posting one of the few balanced responses in this thread. There is very likely some aspects of this story that none of us know anything about yet. Way too early to make some of the conclusions that have been posted on this thread.
Looker up the general. She can’t play the race card on him.
