rejig
The US says it expected Egypt's new president to rejig the military. (rejig = reorganize)
Is this ok in AmE too?
I heard the following sentence (well I can only remember a part of it) on CNN.
....entire villages completely obliterated from the earthquake.
The preposition "from" seems wrong and "by" correct there. Right?

Rejig isn't common in AmE. I've never heard it before. "From" and "by" both work in your sentence.
