Fort Hood Fires Married Colonels After Investigations.

Two married colonels at Fort Hood, Texas, have been fired from their respective commands due to separate investigations resulting in a "loss of confidence" in their judgment. Col. Ann Meredith, commander of the 89th Military Police Brigade, was relieved of command on Friday, while her husband, Col. Jon Meredith, was fired from his post as commander of the 1st Brigade Combat Team, 1st Calvary Division last month. The Army did not provide further details on the investigations, citing a policy that protects administrative information.
