Reinstated Following #USArmy Forces Command Investigation — U.S. Army Lt. Gen. Pat White, commanding general of III Corps, is reinstating Command Sgt. Maj. Arthur “Cliff” Burgoyne III following an investigation into allegedly using unprofessional language toward subordinates in December 2020. U.S. Army Forces Command concluded the investigation today, Jan. 22, 2021, which determined that Command Sgt. Maj. Burgoyne’s language was not unprofessional and he did not exhibit counterproductive leadership. “Putting #PeopleFirst includes holding our leaders to a high standard,” said Gen. Michael X. Garrett, commanding general of FORSCOM. “Command Sgt. Maj. Burgoyne is a tough leader who cares about every Soldier in his formation. I have faith in his leadership, and I know his #Soldiers are his top priority.” This investigation was unrelated to other investigations of III Corps and Fort Hood. A suspension is a temporary removal, often pending the results of an investigation, and is not punitive in nature. Command Sgt. Maj. Burgoyne will resume his duties at III Corps and Fort Hood.
