[MilEME09]

Just hitting the news cycle, no reason given but an on going investigation has caused the temp removal of the CO and RSM of 3 VP. A few rumors in the story but I wouldnt look much into those.

There was a rumour they had a beer in a bus and got ratted out

There was a rumour they had a beer in a bus and got ratted out

General consensus I've seen so far is:
-the soldier who reported it is a rat/blade.
-'just the boys having a road rocket' vibe
-that guy better put in his VR

We keep telling our soldiers 'if you see something, say something, then act surprised when they do.

I think theres some nuance between reporting misconduct and a beer with the team on a vehicle youre not driving, but are you commanding.

I think it's a great way to build camaraderie.

Being ultra vigilant with the see something say something stuff I can see younger or less experienced soldiers not easily understand that nuance.

There is a fine line.

Our facility went non smoking and the older folks found places to indulge. Some junior staff might have ratted them out.
But the same junior staff wouldn’t report staff smoking weed at work.

There is also the liklihood that the CO and RSM disciplined soldiers for alcohol misconduct, and one of the troops had a chance to get back at them.

Wouldn't be the first time someone's been caught in a rules for thee not for me moment. However to warrant the div commander removing them, I feel like the situation that created this might be a bit bigger then we know

Or…hear me out….there are other reason(s), other than random internet rumours.

Point is- unless you are the affected CO, RSM, or Div Comd making the decision, we don’t know.

Authorities question — why the Div Comd? QR&O 101.09 seems to state authority is Army Commander for CO, Brigade Commander for RSM. Or am I looking in the wrong place?

Generally, the positions of Div Comds are designated as holding the powers of an officer commanding a command.

I trust the CA doesn't fire COs and RSMs on a whim or a hunch.
