Training wing leader removed

The commander of the Air Force's training unit at Keesler Air Force Base. Biloxi, Miss., has been removed from his duties. Maj. Gen. Michelle Edmondson, head of the Second Air Force, relieved Col. William H. Hunter from his role as commander of the 81st Training Wing on Tuesday due to "a loss of trust and confidence” in the officer, according to a press release. The services often don't disclose specifics of why a commander is fired, typically citing the federal Privacy Act, which protects military records, and relying on the phrase "loss of trust and confidence" instead of detailing the reasons behind a shake-up, including whether there was misconduct.
