Thank you Lt Col Charlie Brown for making us aware that "Col. Markus Gmehlin, the command surgeon of Air Force Reserve Command, was removed from his position earlier this month after top leaders became dissatisfied with his performance.
Reserve spokesman Lt. Col. Chad Gibson said in emails to Air Force Times that Air Force Reserve Chief Lt. Gen. Maryanne Miller removed Gmehlin.
Gibson confirmed that senior leaders in AFRC were dissatisfied with Gmehlin’s performance as the Reserve’s top medical officer, and decided that his skills were best suited elsewhere in the medical community.
“The Air Force Reserve must improve our readiness posture to remain an effective operational force,” Gibson said in an email Tuesday. “Medical readiness is a key component to our success for the warfighter. As leaders advance throughout their careers, it becomes more critical to match the strongest leadership skills to our biggest challenges to readiness. To ensure success in our mission, we may need to move senior leaders to positions better aligned to their skills sets.”

Wow. There must be a good story behind this. "...his skills were best suited elsewhere in the medical community."
Looking forward to finding out what the deal is.

Proving that my mind is in the gutter, suspect we have a White House doctor story lurking in the shadows.
