BREAKING: Greenland Space Force Commander Relieved of Command After Sending Email Undermining President Trump
White Hats have "DETAINED" Col. Susanah Meyers, who was relieved of command of her position in charge of Space Force Base Pituffik in Greenland.
March 12, 2025
Pituffik Space Base commander Space Force Col. Susannah (Susan) Meyers was relieved of command Thursday after a report by Military.com that she had sent a base-wide email to personnel at the Greenland base after a recent visit by Vice President J.D. Vance distancing herself from President Trump’s national security policy on Greenland.
Space Force Commander in Greenland Sent Out Email Breaking with Vance After His Visit
Meyers had assumed command last July of the 821st Space Base Group at Pituffik.
Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell posted the announcement by Space Force of Meyers being relieved of command within hours of the report by Military.com.
Parnell: “Actions to undermine the chain of command or to subvert President Trump’s agenda will not be tolerated at the Department of Defense.”
Excerpt from the Military.com report on Meyers’ email:
Col. Susan Meyers, the commander of the 821st Space Base Group who also oversees the Pentagon’s northernmost military base, sent a March 31 message to all personnel at Pituffik seemingly aimed at generating unity among the airmen and Guardians, as well as the Canadians, Danes and Greenlanders who work there, following Vance’s appearance.
She wrote that she “spent the weekend thinking about Friday’s visit — the actions taken, the words spoken, and how it must have affected each of you.”
“I do not presume to understand current politics, but what I do know is the concerns of the U.S. administration discussed by Vice President Vance on Friday are not reflective of Pituffik Space Base,” Meyers wrote in the email, which was communicated to Military.com.
…”I commit that, for as long as I am lucky enough to lead this base, all of our flags will fly proudly — together,” Meyers’ email message to the base read.
…Department of Defense Chief of Staff Joe Kasper told Military.com in an emailed statement that “civilian control of the military is a bedrock principle of our armed forces. Actions to undermine the chain of command or to subvert President Trump’s agenda will not be tolerated at the Defense Department.”
The quick firing of Meyers follows the firing of another senior officer, Vice Admiral Shoshana Chatfield, who was relieved of her post as U.S. Military Representative to the NATO Military Committee in Brussels, Belgium earlier this week, reportedly over not hanging portraits of the new civilian leadership, President Trump, Vice President Vance and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.

JD Vance traveled to Greenland and spoke at the space base on March 28.
President Donald Trump and Vance have repeatedly spoken about their desire for the U.S. to take control of Greenland, which is a territory of fellow NATO member Denmark.
Both President Trump and Vance have also said they support the Greenland people's right to self-determination, though polling has suggested a vast majority of residents there do not want to become part of the U.S.
Greenlanders overwhelmingly oppose becoming part of the United States, poll shows
The survey by pollster Verian, commissioned by the Danish newspaper Berlingske and Greenlandic daily Sermitsiaq, showed only 6% of Greenlanders are in favour of their island becoming part of the U.S., with 9% undecided.
Greenland - with a land mass larger than Mexico and a population of 57,000 - was granted broad self-governing autonomy in 2009, including the right to declare independence from Denmark through a referendum.
Greenland Prime Minister Mute Egede, who has stepped up a push for independence, has repeatedly said the island is not for sale and that it is up to its people to decide their future.
The U.S. military has a permanent presence at the Pituffik Space Base in northwestern Greenland, a strategic location for its ballistic missile early-warning system, as the shortest route from Europe to North America runs via the island.
President Trump has said, in reference to U.S. control of the Danish territory, that it is "a good possibility that we could do it without military force" but added "I don't take anything off the table."
Vance, during his visit to Pituffik, criticized Denmark, claiming that incursions by China and Russia had put the territory at risk.
"Our message to Denmark is very simple," Vance said during his visit to the space base. "You have not done a good job by the people of Greenland. You have underinvested in the people of Greenland, and you have underinvested in the security of this incredible, beautiful landmass."
A Yahoo News poll taken last month showed that 49% of Americans opposed the idea of annexing Greenland, with only 19% in favor and the remaining 32% undecided.
Taylor Van Kirk, the press secretary to the vice president, told Military.com that Vance was "grateful to visit Pituffik Space Base and for the opportunity to meet with our brave servicemen and women" and reiterated support for Trump's vision for Greenland.
"President Trump has made his vision for an enhanced security footprint in the Arctic abundantly clear, and the vice president is committed to implementing the president's agenda," Van Kirk said in an emailed statement to Military.com.
"This includes strengthening the partnership and cooperation between the United States and Greenland, which is critical for both American national security and the safety of our partners worldwide.”
The U.S. military has long had a presence in Greenland.
Back in the mid-1940s, a Danish-American radio station was set up near what is now Pituffick Space Base, according to a fact sheet from the 821st Space Base Group.
By 1951, a defense agreement between Denmark and the U.S. led to the creation of the Thule Defense Area.
Thule Air Base was renamed in 2023 to Pituffik Space Base -- to show its new service branch affiliation, as well as reflect the traditional Greenlandic name for the former settlement where the base was built, Military.com previously reported.

That past defense agreement was brought up by Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen in a video shared on social media following Vance's appearance at Pituffik.
Rasmussen said he respected Vance's call for a greater U.S. military presence in Greenland but did not appreciate the rhetoric.
"Many accusations and many allegations have been made and, of course, we are open to criticism, but let me be completely honest: We do not appreciate the tone in which it is being delivered," he said in the video.
"This is not how you speak to your close allies, and I still consider Denmark and the United States to be close allies."
The Space Force did not respond to Military.com questions sent Wednesday morning asking about additional context for Meyers' email.
It was not immediately clear whether Meyers was still serving as commander of the 821st Space Base Group following her email.
The Trump administration has gone on a widespread purge of high-ranking military officers and commanders.
Last week, President Trump fired Air Force Gen. Tim Haugh, the director of the National Security Agency who also oversaw Cyber Command.

Gen. Tim Haugh, who oversaw US Cyber Command (not to be confused with US Army Cyber Command), was fired on Wednesday evening and subsequently arrested at his D.C. residence a few hours later.
Other high-profile military leaders who have been fired since Trump took office -- without any public reason given -- including Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Charles "CQ" Brown, the Navy's top leader Adm. Lisa Franchetti, and Air Force Vice Chief of Staff Gen. James Slife.

In a historic and unprecedented move, the Trump administration on Friday night fired the Joint Chiefs chairman, the Navy's top officer, the Air Force vice chief of staff, and the judge advocates general of three service branches.
President Donald Trump, in a social media post, announced the firing of Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Charles "CQ" Brown and nominated currently retired and little known Air Force Lt. Gen. Dan "Razin" Caine to take the post.

Charles Q. Brown was relieved of command and arrested in July. He was tried and executed though we have not received a trial of the transcript to report on.
The US president has targeted Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs in federal agencies. Brown publicly supported the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement back in 2020.
A feckless Biden appointee, Charles Q. Brown emailed myriad Armed Forces officers instructing them to disavow President Donald Trump if he wins the 2024 presidential election.
