The head of the Pentagon fired the representative of the United States to NATO

The Vice Admiral of the US Navy, Shoshana Nefield, was dismissed from the post of military representative of the United States in the NATO Military Committee. This was originally reported by three sources of Reuters, but later the Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell confirmed this, saying that the Minister of Defense Pit Hegset removed the nevfield "due to the loss of confidence in its ability to lead."

Shoshana Nefield, one of the few women in the USA with the rank of Vice Admiral, was previously the first woman who headed the Naval College. The dismissal of Claus Field has become part of the ongoing cleaning of high -ranking military and national security officers conducted by the Presidential Administration Donald Trump.

Earlier, last week, the head of the US National Security and Cycling Agency, General Timothy Ho, was fired , as well as Admiral Lisa Franketti, the first woman as chief of naval operations. These dismissals are associated with the critical attitude of the Trump administration to the programs of diversity, equality and inclusion (DEI).

According to Reuters, the reason for the dismissal of the nevfield could be her statements in support of women in the armed forces and criticism of stereotypes regarding female military personnel. This happens against the backdrop of the strict position of the Minister of Defense of Pete Hegset against the initiatives of the DEI, which he calls the disassemble.

Senator Jack Reid, a representative of the Democratic Party in the Senate Armed Forces Committee, condemned the dismissal of Czechfield as “shameful” and expressed concern that the Republicans did not oppose the mass dismissals of the military without explanation. Reid noted that these actions undermine confidence in military leadership and damage national security.

Many current and former state apparatus employees express concern that any senior official in the field of national security can be suspected of non-reduced Trump’s environment due to alleged ties with those who have lost the location of the administration, or because of the service in the key positions under the Biden administration.
