An Air Force commander in charge of the maintenance squadron at Dyess Air Force Base, Texas, was removed from her post last month after top leadership at the base determined her performance was inadequate.
Col. Jose E. Sumangil, commander of the 7th Bomb Wing, removed Lt. Col. Kristen Shadden as head of the 7th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron on March 29 for loss of confidence in her ability to lead. Shadden had assumed command of the squadron on June 28, 2019.
