<nip>The Army has formally suspended Lt. Col. Joseph L. Miley, commander of the 49th Missile Defense Battalion at Fort Greely, Alaska., according to an Army statement.

Lt. Gen. Richard P. Formica, the commander of U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command/Army Forces Strategic Command, suspended Miley today after an investigation into possible misconduct within the Alaska Army National Guard battalion.

“He was suspended until further notice by Gen. Formica, the commander of SMDC/ARSTRAT,” said Marco Morales, a spokesman for the command. “He’s still in the area, but he’s not the commander anymore.”

Formica’s action follows a call from Alaska’s U.S. senators for a thorough investigation into allegations he condoned adultery and fraternization on the post.<snip>

<nip>Bloomberg News has reported that the investigation stems from Miley saying in a Jan. 4 meeting that adultery isn’t punishable under military law unless it involves violating a “no-contact order.” Bloomberg News cited an anonymous source who claimed fraternization and sexual misconduct subsequently increased.<nip>
