A garrison commander at Fort McCoy, Wisconsin has been suspended following an incident where photos of President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth were missing from the base’s chain-of-command board.
This marked yet another instance of apparent insubordination within military ranks.
Colonel Sheyla Baez Ramirez, who has served as garrison commander since July 2024, was removed from her position as the Pentagon continues to address what appears to be a pattern of discipline issues across military installations.
As garrison commander, Ramirez was said to be responsible for the day-to-day operations and management of the Wisconsin base.
The controversy began when social media posts circulated showing empty black frames where the photos of the three top officials should have been displayed.
This prompted immediate backlash online and triggered a Department of Defense investigation into the matter.
Task & Purpose reported that the images quickly spread across various platforms, drawing attention to what some critics have called a sign of resistance within military leadership.
While speculation has swirled that Ramirez deliberately omitted the photos, military officials have not confirmed this theory.
