Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen don't maintain the standard, comes with consequences:
Col. Gregory Mayer, the commander of the 5th Mission Support Group, and Maj. Jonathan Welch, the commander of the 5th Logistics Readiness Squadron, were both relieved of their jobs, a Minot Air Force Base spokeswoman confirmed to Military.com on Tuesday morning.
"These personnel actions were necessary to maintain the very high standards we demand of those units entrusted with supporting our Nation's nuclear mission," Maj. Gen. Andrew J. Gebara, commander of 8th Air Force, said in an Air Force Global Strike Command press release Monday.

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen
That's usually the case when just one individual is involved. In this case given the numbers and type of units I'm thinking contractor kickbacks or something along those lines.

BFD. They blew an IG inspection. I spent over 13 years at Minot and have seen Wing Commanders or their subordinate commanders at both 5 BW and 91 MW relieved for being clueless. None of it made national news.
