KENNEY | STARS AND STRIPES Published: April 1, 2021 WASHINGTON — The commander of a South Carolina-based airlift unit was fired Thursday following an investigation into relationships he had that were deemed inappropriate, according to the Air Force. Col. Jaron Roux was found to have “engaged in unprofessional relationships and fraternization,” according to a statement by the 18th Air Force. He is the commander of the 437th Airlift Wing at Joint Base Charleston. Roux was fired by Maj. Gen. Kenneth Bibb Jr., the commander of the 18th Air Force, due to a “lack of confidence in his ability to command” after the allegations were substantiated, according to the statement.
