Costanza, who took command in April 2024, was responsible for overseeing US Army forces and coordinating operations across Europe – a role that included managing American military support for Ukraine along NATO's frontline.His removal comes amid a broader shake-up of the military's senior ranks under Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, with more than two dozen high-ranking officers removed or sidelined, often without public explanation.The move follows the Pentagon's downsizing of the US military footprint in Europe this year, with remaining forces stretched thin and struggling to maintain military presence across multiple fronts.
