Trump Dismisses Top U.S. Military Officer At NATO Headquarters

Navy Vice Adm. Shoshana Chatfield is the United States representative to NATO's military committee and has been relieved of her duties.

President Trump has dismissed a top U.S. military officer at NATO headquarters.

Navy Vice Adm. Shoshana Chatfield is the United States representative to NATO’s military committee and has been relieved of her duties. She is a combat veteran, helicopter pilot and the first female president of the Naval War College and had been serving in the alliance role since December 2023.

Although no reason was given, officials said it was apparently tied to comments she has made that supported diversity in the force.

Chatfield was the only woman on NATO’s military committee and her ousting has already been widely criticized.
