Commander Replaced at US Base in Greenland
Susan Meyers, the commander at Pituffik military base in Greenland, has been replaced following criticism on JD Vance. Meyers' email, reported by Military.com, highlighted her good collaboration with Canadians, Danes, and Greenlanders.
Meyers stated, "I do not claim to understand contemporary politics, but I do know that the concerns expressed by US Vice President Vance on Friday were not on behalf of Pituffik Space Base." She emphasized maintaining unity and pride in leading the base.
Vance's remarks on Denmark, to which Greenland currently belongs, raised concerns about potential military actions. Parnell emphasized the need for command neutrality and adherence to US Defense Department goals.
