FORT CAMPBELL, KY (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – The top leadership of the 101st Airborne Division Combat Aviation Brigade has been cleared of wrongdoing following an Army investigation into misconduct complaints, according to Stars and Stripes.
The 101st CAB came under scrutiny in April over complaints about a trip to Poland that included a visit to an off-limits strip club and the disappearance of a senior battalion officer.
“An exhaustive, months-long follow-on investigation led by a brigadier general identified no adverse findings against Colonel Travis Habhab or his subordinate leaders,” Capt. Javon Starnes, a spokesman for 18th Airborne Corps, said in a statement to Stars and Stripes.
According to a detailed report, the incident took place in September during a deployment to Europe by the unit. About 40 members of 1st Battalion took part in the two-day trip to Gdansk, Poland, according to the Army 15-6 investigation report.
The battalion commander who organized the trip was issued a General Officer Memorandum of Reprimand and will retire, while the executive officer faces separation, Army officials said last month. Other members of the unit also were punished, according to Stars and Stripes.
