A platform concerned with defense and military affair "Breaking Defense" revealed important decisions taken by the administration of President Donald Trump in the past few hours to reorganize the US national security apparatus.
Breaking Defense explained that Trump removed General Timothy Haugh from his position as director of Cyber Command, as well as from his position as director of the US National Security Agency (NSA), responsible for eavesdropping and monitoring communications. Haugh had held the dual position since February 2024.
The platform indicated that his deputy, Wendy Noble, was removed from her position for reasons that are not yet known.
In an interview with Breaking Defense, a spokesperson for the US National Security Agency stated that he could not provide any information at this time, indicating that Haugh could be assigned to another position or even promoted to newly established branches of the US defense and national security system.
The Washington Post has hinted in several reports at ideas the new US administration intends to implement within the defense and national security system and its agencies. Among these ideas is separating the US Army's Cyber Command and the National Security Agency so that they operate independently of each other.
