Following a mass shooting in Lewiston, Maine, where Army reservist Robert Card killed 18 people, three Army Reserve officers have been disciplined for dereliction of duty due to significant communication failures within the chain of command and between military and civilian hospitals. The Army's investigation revealed that Card had exhibited alarming behaviors, including making threats and creating a 'hit list' prior to the shooting, which occurred on October 25, 2023. Despite his deteriorating mental health, including a diagnosis of Brief Psychotic Disorder, he was discharged from a hospital with a low risk assessment just months before the attack. Lt. Gen. Jody Daniels acknowledged the unit leadership's failures and emphasized the need for better behavioral health procedures. An independent commission is also investigating the incident, with its report anticipated later this summer. The tragedy has raised concerns about missed opportunities to prevent the shooting, prompting calls for improved mental health support within the military.
