Military officials had earlier said that Maj. Gen. Michael Carey was relieved of his command for “personal misbehavior” during an overseas trip, but the Air Force Inspector General’s new report provides additional details about his misconduct.

The report said Carey was found guilty of conduct unbecoming an officer and gentlemen, a violation of the military’s code of justice, for his behavior while leading a U.S. delegation to a nuclear training exercise in Russia in mid-July.
