The Navy relieved the commanding officer of Navy Reserve Center Manchester, New Hampshire, on Friday, the service announced.
Cmdr. Joseph Dearing was relieved of his duties by Capt. Christian Parilla, commander of Navy Reserve Region Readiness and Mobilization Command Norfolk, “due to a loss of confidence in his ability to command,” the Navy said in a brief statement.
The release did not provide additional details about Dearing’s dismissal. The service frequently uses “loss of confidence” as a blanket statement when dismissing senior leadership.
