Texas Replaces National Guard Chief After String of Reports about Border Mission Problems [View all]
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has replaced the top officer of the Texas National Guard amid the state's troubled border security mission that has seen troops face pay issues and turn to alcohol abuse and self harm, as well as prompting some to try to unionize.
In a news release Monday, the governor's office announced that Maj. Gen. Thomas Suelzer is replacing Maj. Gen. Tracy Norris as the adjutant general of the Texas Military Department.
"I thank General Norris for her exceptional service to the State of Texas and am honored to appoint her successor, Major General Thomas Suelzer, as the Adjutant General of Texas," Abbott, a Republican, said in a statement. "General Suelzer brings a wealth of military experience to this new role, and I am confident that he will uphold the integrity of the Texas Military Department and exemplify servant leadership throughout every aspect of this position."
