Female commander of Ft Mccoy suspended. Failed to post photos of Trump, Vance and Hegseth [View all]

The commander of Fort McCoy was relieved of duty after the U.S. Army base failed to install photos of President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on a wall displaying their chain of command. 


Col.  Sheyla Baez Ramirez was suspended as garrison commander of Ft. McCoy in Wisconsin. "This suspension is not related to any misconduct," the U.S. Army Reserve Command said in a statement, "We have no further details to provide at this time while this matter is under review."


Hegseth on Sunday reposted an X post claiming: "Commander of Fort McCoy, whose base chain-of-command board was missing photos of Trump, Vance and Hegseth, has been SUSPENDED."

On April 14, the DOD Rapid Response social media account posted about what it called the “Ft. McCoy Chain of Command wall controversy.” The first image in the post shows pictures of Trump and Hegseth turned around and facing the wall, while pictures of military commanders below are visible.
