JOINT BASE LEWIS-McCHORD, Wash. (AP) -- The Army said Thursday it has temporarily suspended the head of its Western Regional Medical Command, which is in charge of Army hospitals in 20 Western states.
Brig. Gen. John M. Cho was suspended, effective immediately, pending the outcome of what it calls an "inquiry centered on the command climate of the organization," said Sharon Ayala, a spokeswoman with the Western Regional Medical Command located at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington state.
Cho is a cardiac surgeon who took the job less than a year ago.
He was suspended by the Army surgeon general.
