I have it that General Ham was relieved in real time during the event.

I would like to see your source for that.

General Ham Is Still Commander of U.S. Africa Command November 3, 2012

That article was published on November 3, 2012 and Gen. Ham was still listed as the commander of AFRICOM on the AFRICOM website for months after that.
