Kunsan Air Base commander is relieved of duty

 It’s sad news for a proud unit.  The position used to be a general-maker — meaning that after you left you pinned on your star.  One wonders what duty-performance factor could have been so bad as to rate his removal.  It was bad enough to result in a “lack of confidence” in his performance — and an end to his career.  Sad news.

Kunsan Air Base’s commander was relieved of his duties Monday by Pacific Air Forces commander Gen. Howie Chandler due to lack of confidence in the colonel’s performance, according to U.S. Air Force spokesmen.

Col. Bryan Bearden, 45, had commanded Kunsan’s 8th Fighter Wing since May — completing six months of a one-year tour.

“The decision was driven solely by duty performance factors,” according to a Kunsan news release on Monday.
