The US Air Force fired six officers, including two commanders, from their positions at a key nuclear base in North Dakota on Monday for failing to do their jobs. Maj. Gen. Andrew Gebara, commander of the 8th Air Force, relieved the officers from their jobs at the Minot Air Force Base 'due to a loss of confidence in their ability to complete their assigned duties,' according to a news release. Gebara fired the commanders of the 5th Mission Support Group and the 5th Logistics Readiness Squadron from their positions of leadership.
