The commander of Expeditionary Strike Group 2 has been removed from command due to a loss of confidence by the commander of U.S. 2nd Fleet, service officials told USNI News.
“Rear Adm. Erik Ross, commander, Expeditionary Strike Group Two (ESG-2), was relieved of his duties by Vice Adm. Andrew Lewis, commander, U.S. 2nd Fleet (C2F), due to a loss of confidence in his ability to command,” reads a statement from the command.
Ross was involved in an alleged off-duty incident that prompted Lewis’ decision and an investigation by the command that is now ongoing, according to a service spokesperson.
