In 2014, an Army Lieutenant Colonel (LTC) ran afoul of his immediate commander resulting in multiple allegations that he had been disrespectful to the commander and another military service senior officer and failed to manage his command appropriately. The allegations resulted in a Memorandum of Reprimand, relief from command, removal from a promotion board, and an administrative separation board. MNB Meridian attorneys successfully argued at the separation board that the LTC did not commit the conduct the commander alleged and received a specific factual finding that the events did not occur, and the officer was retained. Subsequently, the Secretary of the Army promoted the officer to Colonel.
