General Michael E. Kurilla, the Commander of U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), is under investigation by the Army Criminal Investigation Division for allegedly shoving an Airman during a flight to the Middle East. The incident reportedly occurred in early September on a C-17 flight and was triggered by a communication problem, which made Kurilla angry. The investigation was confirmed by three U.S. officials familiar with the situation.
