You do realize it was the Trump team who have arranged for him to be removed..literally the moment Trump completes the oath of office.
It is unusual and stupid to dismiss the commanding officer of 5000 deployed security personnel and national guard mid-security-event..
But that is Trump...

The desperation of the left is mind blowing. They make the Obama-birther-Kenyan-Muslim right wingers seem sane. Even if Trump fails as a president, these next 4 years are going to be great watching the loony bin fill with liberals. Couldn't happen to a nicer group of people.

No there is not. A chain of command exists and the event is not going leaderless.
Military officials and Trump transition officials provided contradictory versions of the decision to replace Schwartz. As is customary for presidential appointees, the general submitted a letter of resignation to give the new administration a clean start.
Two military officials with knowledge of the situation said the Trump team decided to accept the resignation. A person close to the transition said transition officials wanted to keep Schwartz in the job for continuity, but the Army pushed to replace him.
Schwartz, who was appointed to head the Guard by President George W. Bush in 2008, maintained the position through President Obama’s two terms. He said his orders came from the Pentagon in the form of an email that names his interim successor, a brigadier general, who takes over at 12:01 p.m. next Friday.
Army Maj. Jamie Davis, a spokesman at the Defense Department, said Schwartz is classified as a “non-career status employee.” He noted that the interim commander “is ready to assume complete mission” and handle the inauguration.

One of the military officials said the Trump transition team receives lists of political appointees and can decide which resignations to accept. All resignations are effective at 12:01 p.m. on Inauguration Day.
