UM grad fired from FRCW post

Capt. Kenneth Brown, commanding officer of Fleet Readiness Center West, located aboard Naval Air Station Lemoore, Calif., was removed from that post May 12 “due to a loss of confidence” and only weeks before a scheduled change of command. FRCW performs intermediate level maintenance on aircraft and their parts, according to Naval Air Force Pacific. Cmdr. Brett Ingle is serving as the acting commander until permanent relief, Cmdr. Steven Leehe, reports. AIRPAC indicated Leehe will take command June 2.
