3 Army Reserve officers disciplined after reservist killed 18 people in Maine
PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Three Army Reserve officers were disciplined for dereliction of duty following a rampage in which a reservist killed 18 people in Maine, according to an Army report that cited communication failures within the chain of command and between military and civilian hospitals, among other shortcomings. The report released Tuesday unearthed “a series of failures by unit leadership,” said Lt. Gen. Jody Daniels, chief of the Army Reserves, and administrative actions taken against the officers could prevent their further military advancement. The officers weren’t identified. Survivors and victims’ family members have been critical over missed opportunities to prevent the October 2023 attack. Family members and fellow reservists noticed the gunman exhibiting delusional and paranoid behavior months earlier. “My heart and soul goes out to all those families, the folks that were witnesses to what happened,” Daniels told reporters. “We’re doing the best that we can in terms of understanding what did transpire, then make changes for the future.”
