Others' recent misconduct
As WVXU reported in December, the Air Force announced former Wright-Patt commander, Col. Christopher Meeker, will face a general court-martial this June. He commanded the 88th Air Base Wing at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base until he was relieved of duty on Dec. 29, 2023.
Meeker's charged with three violations of the Articles of the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Those charges include having an extramarital, sexual affair with an enlisted staff sergeant; and willfully disobeying a command from his senior officer not to have contact with that person.
The trial is scheduled to begin June 9, 2025, at Scott Air Force Base in Illinois.

Prior to that, former Major Gen. William Cooley was convicted during a general court-martial for abusive sexual contact against his brother's wife. At the time he was head of the Air Force Research Laboratory housed at Wright-Patt. He was stripped of his two stars and retired as a colonel.
Cooley was the first Air Force general to have his case adjudicated by a court-martial.
At more than 30,000 employees, Wright-Patt is the largest single-site employer in Ohio. The 88th Air Base Wing at Wright-Patt is one of the Air Force's largest air base wings with more than 5,000 officers and enlisted Airmen, Air Force civilians and contractor employees.
