U.S. Army Reserves v. LTC (Board of Inquiry)

The Board was held out of the Army Reserve Center in Atlanta, Georgia. Our client faced allegations of toxic behavior and counterproductive leadership stemming from a command he took while mobilized to Fort Bliss, Texas. The main thrust of the investigation stemmed from allegations from our client’s CSM as well as his XO. Our careful investigation into this case showed that our client was NOT allowed to pick his command team. The executive officer was an individual who had been fired from his S-3 position from a sister battalion. The CSM had a long history of disrespect, and insubordination. Our client sought out assistance and mentorship from his Brigade Commander. Our client executed on the guidance given. As it turned out, multiple
witnesses provided false and contradictory information over the course of the AR 15-6 investigation, yet the reviewers and the Command ignored it. There were actually two investigations into our client. Both AR 15-6 investigations were slip shod and the legal reviewers failed to exercise mental energy when analyzing the case. Key pieces of information were ignored such as senior leaders recommendations regarding the XO and CSM’s detrimental conduct towards the Command. Ultimately, at the board, we shed light on the contradictions and lies. We highlighted our client’s stellar career and provided a number of character statements from varying ranks to give the Board a much better picture of our client.
