AFSOAWC Commander Relieved Of Command
AFSOC, 9 Jan 2014
Lt. Gen. Eric Fiel, commander of Air Force Special Operations Command, relieved Brig. Gen. Jon Weeks from command of the Air Force Special Operations Air Warfare Center Jan. 9 due to a loss of trust and confidence in his leadership.
General Fiel made his decision based on preliminary information from an ongoing Inspector General investigation into an alleged inappropriate personal relationship involving Weeks.
"This was not an easy decision, but I believe it is in the best interest of the men and women of AFSOAWC," Fiel said. "AFSOAWC will continue to train and equip our Air Commandos to effectively conduct special operations missions around the globe."
Col. Royce Lott, AFSOAWC vice commander, will be the interim commander until an assumption of command by Col. David Tabor takes place in the spring.
Weeks, an Air Force Reservist, has been on active duty as the commander of AFSOAWC since February 2013. Pending the results of the investigation, he has been temporarily assigned as the mobilization assistant to the director of operations at AFSOC.
