AUSTIN, Texas — The court-martial of a former brigade commander at Fort Cavazos will not begin next week as planned after the judge in the case granted more time to the colonel’s attorneys to prepare following the dismissal of a sexual misconduct charge.
Col. Jon Meredith faces two counts of conduct unbecoming of an officer that were previously connected to the charge of abusive sexual contact. However, Lt. Gen. Sean Bernabe, commander of III Corps and Fort Cavazos, on Sept. 11 dismissed the sexual misconduct charge.
