Army Suspends First Female Base Commander Over Trump Photo Incident
Col. Sheyla Baez Ramirez, Fort McCoy’s first female garrison commander, has been suspended. The suspension follows a controversy involving photos of President Trump and Secretary Hegseth on the fort’s Chain of Command wall, which were found facing the wall instead of the hallway. A Department of Defense investigation is underway to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident, described by the DOD as “vandalism.” The Army maintains the suspension is unrelated to misconduct. The Army Reserve has pledged to take all appropriate action following the conclusion of the investigation.
