An Air Force investigation confirmed allegations that the former commander of the 4th Mission Support Group at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base in North Carolina had an inappropriate relationship with a civilian, according to a report made public Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Col. Charles Underhill was relieved of command in May “due to a loss of confidence in his ability to command following valid allegations of the relationship,” a statement from the Air Force said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The report said investigators found evidence that Underhill had an inappropriate relationship with a civilian, but did not provide further detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“While this type of misconduct is unusual, removing a commander from his position of authority is required to ensure good order and discipline and to demonstrate to our Airmen that this type of behavior is not tolerated,” said Col. Mark Slocum, the 4th Fighter Wing commander who relieved Underhill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I expect every leader’s commitment to ensuring Seymour Johnson Air Force Base provides a professional work environment for our military and civilian airmen,” Slocum said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Underhill will be retired at a rank to be determined through the\u00a0officer grade determination process, the statement from the Air Force said. The review will consider both Underhill’s military record and the results of the Air Force Office of Special Investigations report.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
