US Navy
Commander, Carrier Strike Group ONE, Rear Adm. Carlos Sardiello, relieved Cmdr. William Coulter, commanding officer of Electronic Attack Squadron (VAQ) 136 due to a loss of confidence in his ability to command.
Cmdr. Coulter served as the VAQ-136 commanding officer since January 2023. Cmdr. Paul Ritter was scheduled to assume duties as the commanding officer in April 2024 and will take this assignment effective immediately.
Coulter will be temporarily reassigned to VAQ Wing Pacific.
Navy commanding officers are held to high standards of personal and professional conduct. They are expected to uphold the highest standards of responsibility, reliability, and leadership, and the Navy holds them accountable when they fall short of those standards.
