Following Vance's visit, the U.S. base leader faces termination.

Pituffik Space Base in Greenland has a new commander, Colonel Shawn Lee, following the relief of Colonel Susannah Meyers from her command. The change in leadership occurred two weeks after the visit of US Vice President J.D. Vance to the base.

Vice President Vance's visit to Pituffik Base in late March was marked by sharp criticism of Denmark, which may have contributed to the command change. However, it's important to note that the change was not related to any political affiliations.

Colonel Meyers, in an email to base staff, distanced herself from Vance's criticism, indicating an attempt to maintain unity among US soldiers and international personnel at the base. A report on Military.com suggested this effort.

The relief of Colonel Meyers' command was announced by the Space Operations Command. The reason for her dismissal was a loss of confidence in her leadership abilities, not her political stance.

The US Department of Defense does not tolerate actions that undermine the chain of command or subvert the agenda of the President. In this case, the actions regarding the Greenland dispute may have been a factor in Colonel Meyers' relief.

Colonel Thomas Andersen took over leadership at Pituffik Space Base after Colonel Meyers' dismissal. The change in command did not involve any annexation of Greenland by the United States.

President Donald Trump has expressed his desire to take control of Greenland for months, but the current events at Pituffik Space Base do not reflect any such action. The new commander, Colonel Shawn Lee, has taken over the command at Pituffik Space Base, and it remains to be seen how he will navigate the ongoing Greenland dispute.

Commanders at military bases are expected to uphold the highest standards of conduct, and the non-partisan exercise of duties is crucial in maintaining order and unity within the base. Sean Parnell, Pentagon spokesman, made a statement about Meyers' dismissal on the online platform X. The details of the statement are not yet publicly available.
