WASHINGTON, Feb 25 (Reuters) - U.S. Vice Admiral Fred Kacher has been removed from his position as director of the Joint Staff after only taking the post in December, two sources familiar with the matter told Reuters on Wednesday, with one source saying he was not the right fit for the job.
A Pentagon spokesperson confirmed that Kacher will "return to service" with the U.S. Navy, when asked by Reuters about his removal from the position on the Joint Staff. Reuters was first to report the decision.
"We are deeply grateful for Vice Adm. Kacher's dedicated service to the Joint Force and his contributions to the Joint Staff," Chairman of the Joint Chiefs General Dan Caine said in a statement provided to Reuters.
