Thomas Modly, the acting secretary of the Navy, said he had 'lost confidence' in Crozier's ability to lead after plea letter leaked to press.
New Jersey Congressman Andy Kim issued a statement calling for the immediate reinstatement of Crozier, calling the decision"shameful."
In a joint statement, the House Armed Services Committee leadership — Chairman Adam Smith and Subcommittee Chairs Joe Courtney, John Garamendi, and Jackie Speier — said the removal of Crozier was a"destabilizing move" that put service members at greater risk. "Dismissing a commanding officer for speaking out on issues critical to the safety of those under their command discourages others from raising similar concerns."
