Both the commanding officer and command master chief of Maritime Expeditionary Security Squadron 4, based in Virginia Beach, Virginia, were fired on Friday, the Navy announced.
Cmdr. Brett Robblee and Command Master Chief Felix Phillips were relieved “due to a loss of confidence in their ability to perform leadership duties,” a brief Navy news release says.

Ah ha, obviously the insubordination was not just Greenland commander.
Fraternization?

Makes one wonder how these two were promoted repeatedly to commanding ranks ...
A lot of bad people have been moving up in the system since at least 2008. I’m happy to see problems getting cleared out.
bkmk
Re-assigned. Not “fired”. Opportunity for early retirement. They’re as high as they’ll go now.
It should be noted that “fired” doesn’t mean the same thing in the Navy as it does in the private sector.
They won’t be kicked out of the Navy, just reassigned somewhere with more than likely a lot less responsibility.....having said that, it’s not good that this removal will be a permanent part of their military record and I’m sure will affect any future consideration for advancement.
“They have both been temporarily reassigned to the staff at Navy Expeditionary Combat Command. “
That crossed my mind also
Hegseth is picking up firing incompetent, far-left commanders right where Joe Pedo left off. Pedo was firing them every day also. I think the failure is hiring non-military types to run units. Trannies, DEI graduates, etc. Boneheads.
Bingo.
It’s never good to have a Navy Change of Command without Music and Lumpia!
I believe the proper term is not fired, but rather relieved from duty, and most likely demoted in the process.
I reluctantly followed the link.
“Robblee assumed command of the squadron in June and Phillips reported to the unit in October. They have both been temporarily reassigned to the staff at Navy Expeditionary Combat Command.”
Felix…yeah ok
Two communist (democrats). One is a flaming degenerate homosexual and the other is a pygmy cannibal.
These types are subversive hacks sucking off the government teat while pretending to serve in the military. They should be in a Las Vegas whorehouse, serving the customers. /spit
We need to have a beater noisy non-nuclear sub just for these “reassigned” staff.
It should travel around the world over and over and never see port again....
If the Russians or Chinese decide it is time for target practice—well this is the government and accidents happen...
Lol.
“Makes one wonder how these two were promoted repeatedly to commanding ranks ...”
I don’t wonder at all. Select groups have been getting unfairly promoted for at least a few decades, just to make sure certain stated or unstated quotas or goals were met. I saw long ago that rank or position doesn’t necessarily equate to competence.
