“Knapp was relieved on Aug. 8 as result of the Army 15-6 investigation “due to a loss of trust and confidence in her leadership,””
“No further information about exactly why Knapp was relieved or what the investigation found was immediately available. “

No details at all in the article or in the comments section.

What happened, did she use the wrong pronoun one time too many?

[Justa]

A 15-6 is UCMJ. So, the CSM is toast. Maybe she can go into politics.

[FLT-bird]

What’d she do - not use somebody’s preferred pronouns?

[Repeat Offender]

Maybe Walz needed a CSM position he could fill.

[The JTF-NCR/USAMDW’ is a sprawling military organization established after the 9/11 attacks as a central hub for defense and day-to-day military operations around Washington D.C.]

And there it it (re: my comment above)

[SaveFerris]

[Why?]

Given that it's "responsible for defense and day-to-day military operations in Washington D.C" then my tinfoil makes me wonder about Joe Biden not guaranteeing a smooth transition of power. /shiny side out.

So I'll just guess "wrong pronouns" like others have said.



CORRECTED

[Joe 6-pack]

"A 15-6 is UCMJ."

Not exactly. A 15-6 investigation is a purely administrative investigation and the UCMJ is criminal. That's not to say that the findings of a 15-6 can't lead to UCMJ charges because they certainly can.

Prolly got it on with a female subordinate(s) who complained after a breakup.

[Justa]

You’re right. 15-6 being a unit level investigation. I was never subject of one, or even an Article 15. Most 15-6s I was aware of during my time were for accidents. Maybe she crashed a vehicle or more likely, came up short on an inventory, lost COMSEC equipment, etc.

She is married to Cordell Knapp, and she has two children.

Thx.

[jacknhoo]

My guess is she wasn’t quite fascist enough.

“My guess is she wasn’t quite fascist enough”

She probably signaled that she wouldn’t order firing on innocent civilians at Trump’s inauguration.
