Anthony Green, AFSOC\u2019S command chief, was relieved by AFSOC commander Lt. Gen. Mike Conley, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.afsoc.af.mil\/News\/Article-Display\/Article\/4155097\/comafsoc-relieves-afsoc-command-chief\/\" target=\"_blank\">command said in a statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Conley told personnel <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/photo?fbid=1000826098845666&#038;set=gm.1208694287584738&#038;idorvanity=275310917589751\" target=\"_blank\">in an email<\/a> Tuesday that he relieved Green of his duties \u201cdue to a loss of confidence in his ability to fulfill his duties.\u201d The email was posted to the unofficial \u201cAir Force amn\/nco\/snco\u201d Facebook page. AFSOC later confirmed the veracity of the email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI want to assure you that this decision was made only after careful consideration of the circumstances,\u201d Conley said. \u201cAs airmen, we are entrusted with incredible responsibility and held to the highest standards of conduct. Upholding these standards is non-negotiable, and maintaining good order and discipline is fundamental to who we are.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AFSOC spokesperson Lt. Col. Becky Heyse confirmed an investigation into Green is ongoing, but she could not comment on its nature or timing. She said Conley is \u201ccommitted to the welfare of all airmen in AFSOC.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AFSOC has about 21,000 airmen across 10 operational wings and two special operations groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As AFSOC\u2019s command chief, Green served as its top enlisted leader and advised Conley on the readiness, training, education and resiliency of its enlisted airmen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Green, who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.afsoc.af.mil\/About-Us\/AFSOC-Senior-Leaders\/Display\/Article\/2845574\/anthony-w-green\/\" target=\"_blank\">enlisted in the Air Force in 1995<\/a>, began serving as AFSOC command chief in May 2023. He has served as a maintenance technician on multiple aircraft, including the C-130, and as a flying crew chief \u2014 a specially trained maintainer that flies on an aircraft to troubleshoot and fix any problems that might arise during a mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He previously served as the senior enlisted leader for force structure, requirements, resources and
