The commandant of a Canadian Army college in Ontario has been removed from his post.
Col. Fraser Auld was commandant of the Canadian Army Command and Staff College in Kingston.
A spokesperson for the Department of National Defence says the commander of the Canadian Army decided on Feb. 23 to remove Auld from his position.
The spokesperson said in a statement that the decision “follows a loss of trust in his ability to command.”
Lt.-Col. Don Dubois has been named acting commandant of the college.
The spokesperson says no further information will be released at this time because it’s a “personnel matter.”
The college is tasked with “developing in army officers the ability to perform command and staff functions in war,” according to the Canadian government website.
