More fallout from USS ENTGERPRISE
A former commanding officer of the USS Enterprise who faces possible punishment because of lewd videos shown to the crew has lost his job as head of a Singapore-based logistics group.
Rear Adm. Ron Horton, commander, Logistics Group, Western Pacific, was promptly relieved of command on Thursday by Adm. Patrick M. Walsh, commander of the U.S. Pacific fleet.

As expected, the Article 32, UCMJ, Appointing Authority has forwarded United States v. Hasan to the CA with a capital referral recommendation.
Alamogordo Daily News reports:
