YOKOSUKA, Japan - The commanding and executive officer of U.S. Naval Ship Repair Facility and Japan Regional Maintenance Center (SRF-JRMC) were relieved Oct. 20 due to a loss of confidence in their ability to command.

Rear Adm. William Greene, commander of Navy Regional Maintenance Center, relieved Capt. Zaldy Valenzuela and Cmdr. Art Palalay of duties as SRF-JRMC commanding officer and executive officer, respectively. Capt. Dan Lannamann has temporarily assumed command. Cmdr. Timothy Emge, SRF-JRMC's operations officer, has assumed the position of executive officer until a permanent replacement is selected.

The Navy holds commanding officers and others in authority to the highest standards. Naval leaders are entrusted with significant responsibilities to their Sailors and commands.
