Army Secretary Driscoll expected to step down by year’s end - WSJ
Army Secretary Dan Driscoll is reportedly set to resign from his position by the end of the year, according to The Wall Street Journal. This move could come sooner if tensions with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth escalate further. Driscoll's departure would leave the Army without a Senate-confirmed leader. Hegseth removed Gen. Randy George as the Army's chief of staff in April, but no replacement has been nominated by President Trump.
Gen. Christopher LaNeve, the Army vice chief, currently serves as the acting chief of staff. Driscoll and his family relocated out of the Army secretary's residence at Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall this summer. The military post is situated near Arlington Cemetery, where several top defense officials reside. Over his 18 months in the role, Driscoll developed a close relationship with George.
Both advocated for the integration of new technology into the Army, viewing it as crucial for future warfare.
