Pentagon: US Army Secretary submits resignation according to US media

US Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll has reportedly resigned, according to CNN and Fox News, citing unnamed sources. Driscoll, a close associate of Vice President JD Vance, had been in the position for only 1.5 years. His resignation comes amid reported tensions with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, with whom he worked closely with General Randy George, who was pushed to resign in early April.

A White House spokesperson praised Driscoll's contributions to President Donald Trump's agenda, saying the US Army is "stronger than ever" thanks to his work.
