| [Mil.com] An Army deputy chief of staff has been retired at a lower rank after a watchdog investigation found he had plagiarized work for his master's degree at the Army War College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania as a lieutenant colonel, Military.com has learned. Lt. Gen. Aundre Piggee, 60, deputy chief of staff of the Army for Logistics, G-4, has retired as a major general, an official confirmed to Military.com. The U.S. Army War College Academic Review Board determined this year that Piggee had committed plagiarism while at the school, where he received a master's in military strategy. According to a Defense Department Inspector General document reviewed by Military.com, Piggee's master of strategic studies degree and Army War College diploma was revoked based on the findings. The U.S. Army War College Academic Review Board has amended his record "to reflect a failure to complete graduation requirements," according to the document. According to a published resume, Piggee was at the Army War College from July 2001 to June 2002. "After an academic review board was conducted by the Army War College appropriate action was taken against Lt. Gen. Aundre F. Piggee," Army spokeswoman Col. Kathleen Turner said in a statement provided to Military.com. "Lt. Gen. Piggee was retired at the rank of Major General on December 1, 2019." |

| #8 So they must be finally loading all the papers into a common database. Some of the universities around here have it and they can adjust the sensitivity on the screening to catch this type of cheating. Always site your sources... |

| #4 Piggee was assigned to logistics; who says the Army doesn't have a sense of humor? |

| #3 Must've been some other, undisclosable reason. Or a number of reasons combined. This sort of thing is too trivial for such an action. Happens in every military. |
