A Utah National Guard officer has been stripped of his command after he allowed the British “Hot Shots” bikini models to do a photo-shoot for their calendar in a military base at the Utah National Guard’s Camp Williams, between Provo and Salt Lake City.
The shoot was to include pictures of the models carrying guns and riding around in tanks and armored vehicles .
Guard Lt. Col. Steven Fairbourn said Saturday that, along with the guard officer being stripped of commands, a 19th Special Forces noncommissioned officer involved in the photo shoot would face mandatory early retirement.
He also added that three other guards aware of the activities will receive reprimands. Military sources have commented that the photo shoot did not follow military guidelines for private use of the military facility.
