And when Defense Secretary Mark Esper found out, he fired Spencer. Navy Secretary Spencer tried to quietly strike a deal with the White House that would allow Gallagher to stay a SEAL as long as the president stayed out of the disciplinary process. The Navy had moved to strip Chief Petty Officer Eddie Gallagher of his Navy SEAL status after he was convicted of posing with the corpse of an ISIS fighter in Iraq. The tension between President Trump and ousted Navy Secretary Richard Spencer started over the handling of a war crimes case. p. 289.For a president who has gone to war with his own intelligence community and members of his own diplomatic corps, it seemed only a matter of time before he would clash with the military establishment he oversees.

The Chief of Staff is the senior officer. In the Republic of Ireland, the 'supreme command of the Defence Forces' is formally vested in the President of Ireland under the Constitution. It was followed by 16th (Irish) Division of K2 in September 1914. Each division was to be under the administration of one of the Home Commands, and Irish Command formed what became the 10th (Irish) Division. Īrmy Order No 324, issued on 21 August 1914, authorised the formation of a 'New Army' of six Divisions, manned by volunteers who had responded to Earl Kitchener's appeal (hence the First New Army was known as 'K1'). Field Marshal The Duke of Connaught was appointed acting General Officer Commanding-in-Chief (GOCinC) of III Corps in October 1901. As outlined in a paper published in 1903, III Corps was to be formed in a reconstituted Irish Command, with HQ at Dublin. The 1901 Army Estimates introduced by St John Brodrick allowed for six army corps based on six regional commands. This scheme disappeared in 1881, when the districts were retitled ‘District Commands. 4th Corps was to be formed within Irish Command, based in Dublin. In January 1876 a ‘Mobilization Scheme for the forces in Great Britain and Ireland’ was published, with the ‘Active Army’ divided into eight army corps based on the District Commands.
