Civilian leader of US Army steps down after just 18 months in job
One of the highest-ranking civilian leaders of the US Army steps down after just 18 months in the job.
US Army Secretary Dan Driscoll has resigned after just 18 months in the position, following tensions with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly stated that Driscoll's departure marked the latest in a series of military leadership shake-ups, with the Army undergoing major upheaval. Driscoll, a former advisor to Vice-President JD Vance, was known for his role in advancing President Trump's agenda and had been an ally of General Randy George.
He lamented the latter's departure and expressed his own commitment to serving the needs of soldiers.
