INVESTIGATION OF THE DAY
(PIC) Maj. Gen. Paul Hurley, commander of the Army's Combined Arms Support Command, has been relieved of his duties pending an investigation, officials said Aug. 22, 2018. (Army)
The commander of the Army’s Combined Arms Support Center and Fort Lee, Virginia, was removed from his position Wednesday, a Training and Doctrine Command spokesman has confirmed to Army Times.
Maj. Gen. Paul Hurley had served as commander of the Army’s sustainment think tank and learning institution since June 2017.
“He is currently the subject of an official investigation, and we cannot comment further at this time," Maj. Thomas Campbell, the TRADOC spokesman, told Army Times.
Hurley was relieved due to a loss of confidence in his ability to lead, Campbell added ― a catch-all statement that can cover everything from misconduct to inappropriate behavior.
Brig. Gen. Douglas McBride, currently the quartermaster commandant for the Army Quartermaster School, will serve as the interim CASCOM commander, Campbell said.

MAJ Rene De La Rosa
Yeppers, have seen some of the wives' shenanigans in the commissary. When they do not get their way: "Do you know who I am?" Inevitably, they get the saltiest person in the facility who could care less who their husband is, and it is quite amusing to see them skulking away angered.
Another example is when the gate guard does not salute them. Enough said.

Colin Powell was correct, some do act like royalty and think they are more important than they actually are and others don't count. That sort often don't have careers that end well as that attitude catches up with them when they lose the leader of a team concept. The rank may be respected but the individual who wears that rank who fails to respect others will not Himself or Herself be have earned any respect for themselves. Respect is a two way street to get respect You have to give respect. I'm happy to say I never worked for any General Officers in the Air Force that met that description and they had earned their respect and none of the wives were a problem either of those I served with and under.

Thank you for making us aware my friend SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL Maj. Gen. Paul Hurley, commander of the Army's Combined Arms Support Command, has been relieved of his duties pending an investigation, officials said Aug. 22, 2018.
TRADOC Commander Gen. Stephen J. Townsend most likely relieved Maj. Gen. Paul Hurley.
By the way Gen. Stephen J. Townsend assumed command of U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command from my USMA classmate Gen. David G. Perkins during a ceremony on Fort Eustis, Virginia, March 2, 2018.
To be honest I prefer to wait and see until the investigation results are released and whether UCMJ charges are proffered against Maj. Gen. Paul Hurley.
Background from a somewhat biased perspective:
"Could it be that Major General Paul C. Hurley, Jr. was fired because he was resisting what he felt was a stupid policy which placed America’s readiness in a weaker position? The exact reason why Major General Hurley was fired is still not known to us, but we have received more than a few communiques from people who knew the general and believe that he was dismissed because of a dispute with his chain of command about the logistics force structure. Rumor has it anyway. A message to Major General Hurley, if you want to tell your side of what happened, we will put it out there without edit.
The following email is representative of several other communiques to us about Major General Hurley…
In response to your MG Hurley story…. I worked for MG Hurley 2016-2017 while deployed, MG Hurley is the most astute logistical officer in the Army today, and in all my interaction with him he is “straight as an arrow.” I am very critical of senior military leaders, and I can tell you this guy is the real deal, and is totally committed to making the Army a better place…..
I would be surprised at any scandal involving him. While I have no insider information, the thing that goes through my mind is; he was likely being asked to “squeeze” the “logistics force structure” to create more billets to add to the “war-fighter force structure.” This is something his command is expected to do and he might have fallen short of senior leaders “squeezing” goals.
Major General Hurley does not make decisions he cannot defend, and would likely push back on any unachievable goals. Hurley would not allow the logistics community to become totally dysfunctional by cuts intended to shift personnel billets from the log force to the war-fighter force.
My assertion is purely theoretical though, so it could be something else. However, this is not the type of officer I would rush to condemn."
