Jonathan Chung <a href=\"https:\/\/www.armytimes.com\/news\/your-army\/2023\/04\/12\/security-force-assistance-brigade-commander-under-investigation\/\">was suspended from his post in April<\/a> amid <a href=\"https:\/\/www.military.com\/daily-news\/2023\/04\/18\/suspended-commander-of-security-force-assistance-brigade-facing-toxic-leadership-investigation.html\">allegations of toxic leadership<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maj. Gen. Donn Hill, the Commander of Security Force Assistance Command, relieved Chung of his duty Thursday due to \u201ca loss of confidence in Col. Chung\u2019s leadership and is based on the results of an Army Regulation 15-6 investigation,\u201d according to an SFAC statement shared with Military Times. Col. Tony Braxton has served as the unit\u2019s acting commander since Chung\u2019s suspension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chung <a href=\"https:\/\/www.army.mil\/article\/248088\/the_5th_sfab_welcomes_new_commander_at_jblm\">took the helm<\/a> of 5th SFAB in July 2021. Troops under his purview <a href=\"https:\/\/www.military.com\/daily-news\/2023\/04\/18\/suspended-commander-of-security-force-assistance-brigade-facing-toxic-leadership-investigation.html\">reported being frequently berated and micromanaged<\/a> by the commander over the course of his two-year tenure, according to an investigation published by <a href=\"http:\/\/military.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Military.com<\/a> days after his suspension. Others <a href=\"https:\/\/www.military.com\/daily-news\/2023\/04\/18\/suspended-commander-of-security-force-assistance-brigade-facing-toxic-leadership-investigation.html\" target=\"_blank\">defended<\/a> Chung\u2019s leadership style as demanding and idiosyncratic, but not cruel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chung\u2019s former brigade was one of six SFABs established by Army officials between 2017 and 2020. The brigades are designed to assist American security partners with military training. The 5th SFAB, based out of Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington, concentrates on the Indo-Pacific.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chung\u2019s legal team submitted a full rebuttal to the Army\u2019s investigation, the ex-commander\u2019s attorney, Jeremy Snyder, told Military Times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe thought we presented the greater weight of the evidence,\u201d Snyder said. \u201cFor whatever reason, the powers that be disagreed with us, but we stand by our position that Col. Chung has served honorably and is a great leader.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Snyder doesn\u2019t anticipate any kind of formal reprimand for his client.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chung is at least the fifth Army brigade commander <a href=\"https:\/\/www.armytimes.com\/news\/your-army\/2023\/04\/12\/security-force-assistance-brigade-commander-under-investigation\/\">to be relieved of duty <\/a>since October. Another 5th SFAB commander, Col. Meghann Sullivan of the 5th Brigade Engineer Battalion, is under investigation for allegedly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.military.com\/daily-news\/2023\/06\/23\/chung-fired-troubled-5th-sfab-amid-numerous-investigations-leadership-concerns.html\">sexually harassing<\/a> subordinates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>Editor\u2019s note: This story was updated June 23, 2023, at 4:28 p.m. EST with a statement from Col.
