A four-star Army General was suspended on Friday, after the Pentagon learned he allegedly pressured an assessment panel to support an officer deemed “unfit.
Gen. Charles Hamilton, who allegedly lobbied on behalf of a female lieutenant colonel, was also recommended for an investigation by the Defense Department’s inspector general. Lt. Gen. Chris Mohan, deputy commander of the Army Materiel Command, which Hamilton oversaw, will be the interim commander.
The female officer was also rejected by a different assessment panel, but she was later placed on a selection list for command. However, she has since been removed as a candidate and will need to recompete next year. Hamilton then reportedly asked for a second panel, claiming the first psychologist was “too negative.” It was approved because of “technical issues” and rescheduled for two days later, on Nov. 1, 2023. The approval of the second panel was unprecedented because Army rules state that a candidate must wait another year to be retested.
