The Army suspended a female commander stationed in Wisconsin after portraits of President Trump and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth were found flipped around.
The Army said in a statement on Saturday that Col. Sheyla Baez Ramirez, the base’s first female commander, has been “suspended” as Garrison Commander at Fort McCoy, Wisc.
“This suspension is not related to any misconduct. We have no further details to provide at this time while this matter is under review,” the statement read.
On April 14, the Department of Defense (DOD) shared a post on the social media platform X showcasing a photo of the wall of the chain of command where Trump, Hegseth and Vice President Vance’s photos were turned around to face a wall.
“Regarding the Ft. McCoy Chain of Command wall controversy….WE FIXED IT,” the account wrote in the caption, adding that “an investigation has begun to figure out exactly what happened.”
Then, over the weekend, the defense secretary reposted an X post that said “Commander of Fort McCoy, whose base chain-of-command board was missing photos of Trump, Vance and Hegseth, has been SUSPENDED."
Baez Ramirez assumed duties as Garrison Commander at Fort McCoy in July last year. Previously, she served as the chief of the Reserve Program, Army Intelligence and Security Command at Fort Belvoir, Va., according to her Army page.
Baez Ramirez was commissioned as a military intelligence officer in 1999. She has a bachelor’s degree in psychology/mental health from the University of Puerto Rico and a master’s in strategic studies from the Army War College.
The Hill has contacted the U.S. Army Reserve for comment.
