The entire command triad of the Navy\u2019s Amphibious Construction Battalion 2 was fired Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Navy officials said the reliefs of commanding officer Capt. Jeffrey Lengkeek, executive officer Cmdr. Michael Jarosz and Command Master Chief Matthew Turner were \u201cdue to a loss of confidence in their abilities to effectively perform their leadership roles.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lt. Cmdr. Paul Newell, a spokesman for Expeditionary Strike Group 2, told Navy Times Monday that the firings happened \u201cfollowing a formal command investigation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhile the investigation remains open, we do not intend to take further disciplinary action against the triad members at this time,\u201d said Newell, who declined to provide further details for the firings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lengkeek and Jarosz served as leaders of the Seabee unit since July 2020, while Turner has been the unit\u2019s senior enlisted leader since July 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
