The U.S. Army has relieved Lt. Gen. Charles Costanza, commander of V Corps in Europe, with less than two months left in his tenure. No specific reason was provided, though the matter has been referred to appropriate authorities. Brig. Gen. John Mountford has been named interim commander. Costanza had led V Corps since April 2024, overseeing U.S. forces in Europe and coordination with NATO allies. His removal is the latest in a series of command changes in Europe, following the cancellation of major troop deployments to Poland in May and the early departure of Gen. Christopher Donahue from U.S. Army Europe and Africa in June. Maj. Gen. Thomas Feltey has been nominated to permanently replace Costanza in October. The Pentagon is also conducting a review of American force posture in Europe.
