Several officers have been dismissed in the past few months with no reasonable explanation given beyond "loss of confidence".

US Navy terminated several officers over the past few months citing a “loss of confidence” in their leadership capabilities, NBC News reported.

Earlier in the month, five officers have been dismissed in a span of a week. According to the Navy, the terminations are not related to each other. However, they also failed to elaborate on the reasons behind the decisions.

The details the Navy did offer are limited or they gave a non-answer stating “loss of confidence.” Some of those dismissed in the past few months are the commanding officer of the USS Bulkeley destroyer and his third-in-command, who the Navy cited the reason as doubt in their "ability to effectively function as a command leadership team."

The Navy also dismissed the commanding officer and the second in command of the Naval Justice School and referenced the climate of the school in their reasoning.

The officer in charge of the Submarine Training Facility in San Diego was also dismissed last April as per NBC News. In the same month, a “series of leadership and oversight failures" at the Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility in Hawaii, resulted in the dismissal of yet another officer. 

In a statement to NBC, Navy spokesperson Lt. Comdr. Devin Arneson said that "The U.S. Navy has long maintained high standards for all its personnel. Those who fall short of these standards are held accountable."

Army Forces dismissals elsewhere

The loss in confidence in troopers is not limited to the US NAVY, as its ally, the UK, has been embroiled in a major scandal involving its own army.

Hundreds of UK Paratroopers were banned from the annual NATO deployment to the Balkans following videos showing an orgy within the military barracks. The possibility of replacing the battalion with another for the drill is being examined, according to reports.

The new head of the army, General Patrick Sanders, wrote a letter to the general and commanding officers stating that he is not willing to “risk the mission or the reputation of the British army” by sending them overseas.

Eight paratroopers from the 16 Air Assault Brigade have been placed under police investigation after a film emerged with them having an orgy with a civilian woman at the Merville barracks in Colchester, Essex. Dozens of other paratroopers watched.
