A female Army officer was fired from command of a unit based at Joint Base Lewis-McChord amid allegations of multiple sexual assaults against several male subordinates and a pattern of sexual harassment, according to a service spokesperson.
Col. Meghann Sullivan served as commander of the 5th Brigade Engineer Battalion, 5th Security Force Assistance Brigade, at the base in Washington state. She was relieved of command Oct. 13, but this is the first time her firing has been reported.
Military.com first reported on her suspension and the subsequent investigation into her conduct in April. That reporting was part of the publication's investigation into the 5th SFAB, which uncovered potentially systemic issues with counterproductive leadership and performance and morale struggles among its rank and file.
The investigation into the 5th SFAB included reviewing an unredacted command climate survey in addition to hundreds of internal Army emails, voice recordings, videos and text messages. The brigade's commander, Col. Jonathan Chung, was later fired and left the service.
Sullivan, who did not immediately return a request for comment, is still in the service and was reassigned to I Corps, based out of the same installation. She is seemingly NOT facing a court-martial, according to a Military.com review of the public-facing court docket. It was unclear whether she had hired an attorney.
The former commander faced allegations of assaulting at least two male subordinates and harassing several others, with some of those incidents allegedly tied to alcohol abuse, according to one source with direct knowledge of the situation. One of those instances allegedly involved forcefully kissing one of the males, and grabbing another below the belt without his consent.

Or maybe a female superior got mad when she rebuffed her advances?
Jets fans
Even if the units were segregated, this would still be a problem. Especially after we got rid of the "Don't ask, don't tell" policy.

It's a problem in the Russian military.
:)
Hmmm ...
Barack Hussein Obama surrendered power peacefully on January 2017. Joe Biden seized power in January, 2021. Under whose command were these new units created?
The world wonders.

If you’re OK with your supervisor (male OR female) groping you, you’re a pervert.
She’d have no trouble getting laid at any honky-tonk in the country ... No Excuses.
Very interesting point. I had not looked at the dates that closely.
It’s politically incorrect to notice such things.
Will the leftist media generate a flood of "hashtag: #USToo" stories for weeks on end?
Will there be Congressional Hearings on "Creepy Female Stalking" occurring in the Military?
Will America be preached at about the need to "Trust All Men"?
Will there be marches on Washington and other Major U.S. cities with Military Men wearing (censored)?
Will Hollywood actors/actresses make TickTock videos about their "Feelings" and stuff?
No?
I thought not.
Great list clearly demonstrating lib hypocrisy.
"Believe All Women"
"You Go Girl"
"You're A Boss Babe"
“She was probably fired because she went after males only.”
________________________________
I wouldn’t place money on that particular bet.
Even if she did go after females they wouldn’t include that information.
Why?
For the same reason male on male sexual assaults in the military are reported...
Those who love the same-sex lovers would be pissed.

Come to think of it, the situation is fraught with peril! Probably not a good idea to put a hot nympho in charge of a bunch of hyper-randy young males.
What would have happened if this was a male Commander?
I would hit it - with an open car door at 40 MPH (sorry not sorry Laz)
So because she’s an officer she’s not a girl, biology and human urges don’t apply?
So 40 means sex is unimportant? https://www.forbes.com/sites/claryestes/2020/02/26/historic-high-rates-of-stis-among-older-americans/
Star Trek is fiction. Even if you had a spaceship full of 40+ year old PhD’s traveling to new worlds, there would still be a lot of Fing going on.
When folks put on a suit, have titles, degrees, and pretend we’re all better than the other with our moralistic gibberish, the reality is sex is a basic instinctual drive and even if you’re the President of the USA, you’re not immune form this: https://www.thetoptens.com/leaders/presidents-who-had-affairs/ Nor are those that escalate and perpetuate this moralistic nonsense, but I will not provide lists and lists of sexual scandals among the clergy.
We just pretend that it was somehow different and wholesome in the past. What’s changed is our society and the rules we play by today. They are unrealistic. We’re putting forbidden food in front of hungry people and then screaming at them when some do decide to partake in it.
Human biology hasn’t changed. Society has.
Today you graduate from high school, go to college and get married at 28.6 - 31 years of age, start a career, and THEN start thinking about having children. Then we act surprised when a kid gets knocked up at 17 (sex hormones start really flowing ~ 12 - 15 and that is when the curiosity and desire starts). This is really an issue about basic biology, the stuff we learned about in 9th grade.
Here’s the options:
(1) No female - male integration, US and many others in the past.
(2) If you’re going to integrate, stop seeing it as something bad and wrong, accept and deal with it. When you put boys and girls together, ESPECIALLY if it’s months or even over a year at a time, and you have 4 boys for every girl, combat stress, and many are thinking that they might bite the big one (concern for consequences goes down), crazy things are going to happen.
I’m not saying to condone or even sponsor it like some did in the past: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bordel_militaire_de_campagne
However, if you’re going to have a lot of young boys and girls in close proximity for extended times, don’t act surprised and do not crucify those that do these things.
We've posted many threads on this subject but all of this woke crap is turning off the White Males.
Just read the posts on this thread about responsible veterans who knew what the military required of them and they behaved. You can have your randy behavior out of uniform and off-base. There’s no place for it on active duty, in uniform or on base.
You are mixing up civilian behavior and expectations with military behavior and expectations. They are different. People going into the military understand that and most behave as expected (as the vets on this thread have said).
