Task & Purpose
The Navy removed the head of a medical training unit from his post after only a year on the job.
Mathew Loe had been relieved as the commanding officer of Navy Medicine Readiness and Training Command Lemoore following a “loss of confidence in his ability to command.”
Rear Adm. Kevin Brown, head of Naval Medical Forces Pacific, removed Loe, who has been temporarily reassigned to Naval Medical Forces Pacific.
Navy Medicine Readiness and Training Command Lemoore, located at Naval Air Station Lemoore in central California, is a training unit for medical staff that support Navy and Marine Corps units.
Before taking over at the Lemoore training command, he had been the executive officer at the command and deputy director at the clinic at the base.
