Col. Ryan Marshall was fired from command of the 621st Contingency Response Wing at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst in New Jersey on Wednesday.

Maj. Gen. John Gordy, commander of the Air Force Expeditionary Center, relieved Marshall of command after he “lost confidence in Marshall’s ability to continue serving in a leadership position due to alleged conduct unbecoming an officer,” according to a release posted on the Expeditionary Center’s website.

“This decision was made in the best interest of the men and women serving in the 621st CRW,” Gordy said in the release. “I hold our leaders to the highest standard because that’s what our Airmen deserve.”

The wing’s vice commander, Col. James Hall, is now serving as interim commander.
