The Navy won't explain the firing of nearly a dozen officers in leadership positions in less than three months
A total of 13 commanding officers have been fired so far this year, including 12 in the Navy and one in the Marine Corps, the Navy said. Most recently, four Naval commanding officers and a top leader were ousted from June 8 to June 14.
The sailor and the Casertas believe Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy Russell Smith should also be fired, followinghe made during an address to a fragile crew in April. Smith, the service’s senior enlisted leader, is responsible for matters dealing with enlisted personnel and their families. That commanding officer, Capt. Amy Larson, had held the role for about eight months. She has been temporarily reassigned, officials said.
Military experts said it's common for commanding officers on ships to be fired, but that it’s rarer to see them booted from teams that handle trainings, fleet readiness and supply centers. “You always hear about COs being fired for one reason or another,” he said."We describe command at sea as kind of like an experiment in leadership.”
