The US Army has lost the top general and the 'change agent' secretary who were driving its transformation for future fights
With Driscoll's resignation, the service has lost its leaders spearheading Army modernization. Those initiatives are now on uncertain footing.
The US Army has lost two top leaders driving its transformation efforts for future conflicts, prompting concerns over the service's modernization. Secretary of the Army Dan Driscoll resigned on Monday, after discussing the Army's future with the president. Driscoll was a key figure in reshaping the Army's relationship with industry and accelerating its focus on drone warfare.
Earlier this year, Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George was fired, ending his tenure a year and a half before his expected four-year term. Both Driscoll and George were instrumental in the Army's sweeping transformation efforts, which included increasing investments in unmanned capabilities and rethinking the acquisitions process.
Their departures have left the Army's modernization efforts in question, with the service currently without any Senate-confirmed leaders.
