The commander of a maintenance squadron at Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada was removed from his post last month over a \u201closs of trust and confidence in his ability to lead,\u201d a spokesman at the base confirmed to Air Force Times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maj. Burton Field, who oversaw the 757th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, was fired by 57th Maintenance Group boss Col. Barton Kenerson on Oct. 6 after just over a year in the job, 57th Wing spokesman Lt. Col. Bryon McGarry said in an email Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMaj. Field had commanded the unit since June 16, 2020, and was replaced by Maj. Michael Bell, who will remain in the position until June 2022,\u201d McGarry wrote. \u201cMaj. Field continues to serve in the 99th Air Base Wing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Air Force is not investigating Field for any misconduct, he added. McGarry did not offer further details on the commander\u2019s ouster.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
