De Gaulle purged senior officers who failed to obey during the crisis

Evidence

In a second purging of the military de Gaulle sent home three generals—Faure, Mirambeau and Gracieux—and Colonels Broizat, Argoud and Godard. The last, the most experienced of the senior officers of Algiers, left angrily, protesting his loyalty to Challe and Delouvrier (though not, pointedly, to the head of state). — Horne, Alistair, A Savage War of Peace- Algeria 1954-1962, 1136
