Pentagon removes high-ranking official from Joint Staff post
US Vice Admiral Fred Kacher has been removed from his position as director of the Joint Staff after only taking the post in December, three sources familiar with the matter told on Wednesday.
A Joint Staff spokesperson confirmed that Kacher will "return to service" with the US Navy, when asked by Reuters about his removal from the position on the Joint Staff.
The spokesperson, Joseph Holstead, did not provide a reason for Kacher’s removal.
One of the sources said he was not the right fit for the position. Still, the sources who spoke to Reuters on condition of anonymity did not say if there was any specific trigger for the decision.
