The Pentagon on Tuesday confirmed Vice Admiral Shoshana Chatfield has been removed from her position as the U.S. military representative to NATO's military committee, making her at least the ninth senior military officer forced out by the Trump administration.
"Secretary [Pete] Hegseth has removed U.S. Navy Vice Admiral Shoshana Chatfield from her position as U.S. representative to NATO's military committee due to a loss of confidence in her ability to lead," Pentagon chief spokesman Sean Parnell said in a statement. "The Defense Department is grateful for her many years of military service."
The military committee at NATO is made up of senior military officers, usually three-star admirals or generals, from NATO member countries who represent their chiefs of defense.
