US Navy Vice Admiral Shoshana Chatfield, who holds a senior position in the NATO military committee, has been sacked.
Reuters reported on Monday that US President Donald Trump’s administration removed Chatfield from her role as part of what appears to be an expanding national security purge of top officials.
Chatfield is one of only a handful of female Navy three-star officers. She was the first woman to lead the Naval War College, a position she held until 2023.
Her sacking is the latest to rock the Pentagon, following Thursday’s removal of General Timothy Haugh, the head of the National Security Agency and US Cyber Command.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon has yet to release a statement regarding Chatfield’s dismissal at the time of filing this report.
