U.S. Vice Admiral Shoshana Chatfield has been removed from her NATO role, sources told Reuters. She served as the U.S. military representative to the NATO Military Committee and was one of the few female three-star admirals in the Navy.
Her dismissal marks another move in what appears to be a growing security purge by the Trump administration. The Pentagon has not confirmed the decision, but allied officials were reportedly notified.
Chatfield’s removal follows the firing of Admiral Lisa Franchetti and General Timothy Haugh, both key national security figures. The administration has also taken a critical stance on diversity initiatives and NATO spending.
Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth recently warned Europe not to rely on the U.S. for its defence, calling it a “burden.” One source suggested Chatfield’s removal may relate to the administration’s efforts to roll back diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts across the armed forces.
Chatfield, a helicopter pilot and former head of the Naval War College, has not publicly commented. Her supporters view the decision as part of a broader political shift targeting military leadership linked to the previous administration.
