Gen. Amy Johnston will soon leave the Army.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Department of the Army Inspector General investigation into BG Amy Johnston has concluded and appropriate administrative action was taken,\u201d the spokesperson said. \u201cShe is in transition status preparing for her approved retirement.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The investigation \u201csubstantiated that BG Johnston\u2019s leadership style violated the standards set forth in Army Regulation 600-100,\u201d the spokesperson explained. Allegations of so-called counterproductive or toxic leadership typically fall under that regulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Johnston received a general officer\u2019s memorandum of reprimand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A GOMOR is an administrative punishment that would have likely prevented further promotion. But as a public affairs officer, Johnston was already likely to retire after completing her tour leading the Office of the Chief of Public Affairs, which began in April 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why was Johnston investigated?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Army Times <a href=\"https:\/\/www.armytimes.com\/news\/pentagon-congress\/2021\/09\/22\/top-army-spokesperson-suspended-after-abysmal-climate-survey\/\" target=\"_blank\">first reported<\/a> the general\u2019s suspension in September 2021. She was suspended after a scathing OCPA command climate survey revealed mass dissatisfaction with workload, work-life balance and unclear expectations on projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">IG complaints bore out similar allegations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2118\" height=\"1092\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Screen-Shot-2021-09-22-at-7.56.36-PM.png.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-38761\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Screen-Shot-2021-09-22-at-7.56.36-PM.png.png 2118w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Screen-Shot-2021-09-22-at-7.56.36-PM.png.png?resize=300,155 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Screen-Shot-2021-09-22-at-7.56.36-PM.png.png?resize=768,396 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Screen-Shot-2021-09-22-at-7.56.36-PM.png.png?resize=1024,528 1024w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Screen-Shot-2021-09-22-at-7.56.36-PM.png.png?resize=1536,792 1536w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Screen-Shot-2021-09-22-at-7.56.36-PM.png.png?resize=2048,1056 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2118px) 100vw, 2118px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">This slide deck obtained by Army Times depicts the results of a command climate survey that resulted in the suspension of Brig.
