Eddie Gallagher could lose his SEAL status as Navy begins board review, despite Pres. Trump's intervention in his case.
Special Warfare Chief Eddie Gallagher could lose his status as a U.S. Navy SEAL as the service begins a board review process that will examine whether he should keep his Trident pin, which identifies him as a member of the SEAL community, according to two U.S. officials.
A spokesperson for Naval Special Warfare Command, Capt. Tamara Lawrence, told ABC News that the SEALs have implemented Trump's order to restore Gallagher's paygrade. On Wednesday, the four SEALs will receive a letter signed by SEAL Commander Rear Adm. Collin Green advising them that a board is being convened to review their performance, the officials told ABC News. These boards are convened to review any number of behaviors by SEALs, including medical issues, alcohol or drug abuse and loss of confidence by command.
"Commander, Naval Special Warfare Command is responsible for the Naval Special Warfare Force," Lawrence said."He remains focused on delivering a capable, ready and lethal maritime special operations force in support of national security objectives, which includes assessing the suitability of any member of his force via administrative processes."
