Air Force officials at Joint Base Charleston in South Carolina fired two commanders and reassigned one senior enlisted leader from a medical group at the base.
Col. Anadis Collado, the 628th Group commander, and Lt. Col. Douglas Grabowski, the 628th Healthcare Operations Squadron commander, were both removed from their positions due to “a loss in trust and confidence in their ability to lead,” the base told Military.com in an emailed statement Tuesday.
