US Army Secretary Dan Driscoll resigns after dispute with Hegseth
US Army Secretary Dan Driscoll has resigned following months of tension and disagreements with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, sources told Reuters.
US Army Secretary Dan Driscoll has tendered his resignation, citing ongoing conflicts with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, according to multiple sources cited by Reuters. The decision follows months of escalating tensions between the two officials. The Wall Street Journal was the first to report Driscoll's decision to step down, underscoring the recent upheaval within the Pentagon's leadership.
This comes weeks after rumors surfaced suggesting Driscoll intended to depart by the year's end, or possibly sooner, due to the persistent friction with Hegseth. The relationship between Driscoll and Hegseth has deteriorated markedly in recent months, as the US Department of Defense has experienced substantial leadership turnover.
Driscoll's resignation is the latest in a series of personnel changes at the Army, following the dismissal of Army Chief of Staff General Randy George by Hegseth in April.
