Army Secretary Dan Driscoll expected to resign amid Pentagon friction
U.S. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll is expected to resign from his position by the end of the year, or potentially sooner, following months of reported tension with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
Reports indicate that the friction between Driscoll and Hegseth involved disputes over the blocking of promotions for several Army officers and the April dismissal of Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George. Driscoll's departure would leave the U.S. Army without a Senate-confirmed leader, as President Trump has yet to nominate a replacement for George. Currently, Gen. Christopher LaNeve is serving as the acting Army Chief of Staff.
Indications of Driscoll's impending exit include his family's relocation to North Carolina and his move out of the official Army Secretary residence at Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall. Driscoll, a longtime associate of Vice President JD Vance, had previously advocated for military modernization and the integration of new technologies.
