Navy fires CO of Naval Information Warfare Training Group San Diego

The Navy removed the commanding officer of the Naval Information Warfare Training Group San Diego on Thursday.

Cmdr. Cayanne McFarlane was ousted from her leadership role due to a “loss of confidence in her ability to command,” according to the service. She has been temporarily reassigned to Naval Information Forces.

McFarlane is the second commanding officer the Navy has fired this week. On Wednesday, the service announced the relief of Capt. Lester Brown, Jr., the commanding officer of Navy Leadership and Ethics Command San Diego.

McFarlane assumed command of Naval Information Warfare Training Group San Diego in April 2023, and previously served as the executive officer of Naval Computer and Telecommunications Station Sicily, according to her official Navy biography.

“The Navy maintains the highest standards for commanding officers and holds them accountable when those standards are not met,” the Navy said in a statement Thursday.

Meanwhile, Cmdr. Dominic DiMaggio, the executive officer of Fleet Weather Center San Diego, is temporarily stepping in to fulfill leadership responsibilities at Naval Information Warfare Training Group San Diego until a permanent replacement is found.

No other details were immediately provided. The Navy rarely provides any insight into the firing of commanding officers beyond the “loss of confidence” statement.

Naval Information Warfare Training Group San Diego falls under Naval Information Warfare Training Group based out of Virginia.
