The Washington Post has reported that the Army demoted the former commander of the 1st Infantry Division for having “an inappropriate relationship” with a junior officer.
Grigsby was reprimanded and demoted from major general to brigadier general after investigators learned that he had called and texted a female captain more than 850 times over 10 months and was spending time at her home, according to Army documents obtained by the Washington Post.
Grigsby received a formal reprimand from the Army in April and is scheduled to retire August 1st. Both he and the unidentified female captain declined to talk to investigators but Grigsby did submit a letter to the Army accepting responsibility for his inappropriate behavior. Grigsby told the Post he was embarrassed and disappointed in myself. He apologized for causing pain to his family and the Army.
Documents show the Army and Pentagon inspectors general received a number of complaints last year from Soldiers at Fort Riley who suspected Grigsby was having an affair and it was affecting his ability to lead.
When Grigsby was relieved of command at Fort Riley the Army cited a “loss of confidence” in his ability to lead. No other details were provided at that time.
