How do you say this in more 'floral' language?

Just a story to get the point across:

When some captain or major messed up and get 'promoted' to general...in the arctic in charge of frozen icebear droppings, how do you call that.

No I don't mean demoted, There is this figure of speech I have forgotten. Do you know?
