The Trump administration dismissed vice-admiral Shoshana Chatfield, US officials announced on Monday, while defense secretary Pete Hegseth continued his purge of military leaders who were targeted by curators.
Admiral Chatfield, who served in the Navy as an American representative of the NATO military committee, joined a list of leaders and people of color who have been dismissed. He includes the former president of the heads of joint staff, General Charles Q. Brown Jr.; The former navy chief, the Amimpe Lisa Franchetti; Lieutenant-General Jennifer Short, former principal military assistant to the Secretary of Defense; And the former Coast Guard commander, administrator Linda Lee Fagan.
Recently, General Timothy D. HAGH, who was commander of the American cyber command and director of the National Security Agency, and General James Slife, the former Air Force Chief of Staff.
It was not clear if President Trump or Mr. Hegseth ordered the admiral Catfield. Last week, Mr. Trump withdrew several national security officials, including General HAGH, after meeting Laura Loomer, far -right activist and conspiracy theorist.
The Pentagon did not respond to a request for comments on the dismissal of Admiral Chatfield, which was first reported by Reuters.
In a letter in December to Mr. Hegseth, a conservative surveillance group included Admiral Chatfield in a list of “awakened ideologists” who, according to the group, should be purged. Before moving to NATO, Admiral Chatfield was the first woman to lead the US Naval War College in Newport, RI
General Haugh was ousted after Ms. Loomer accused her and her disloyalty assistant, according to American officials and a social media position of Ms. Loomer on Friday. He had been chosen by General Mark A. Milley, the former president of the chiefs of joint staff, which Ms. Loomer called a traitor.
The layoffs of senior military leaders have shaken the legislators and were sentenced by former defense secretaries as “reckless”.
