On September 1, the White House confirmed that US Army Secretary Dan Driscoll had submitted his resignation, citing reported tensions with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The White House Press Secretary, Anna Kelly, affirmed Driscoll's effectiveness in advancing President Trump's agenda at the Department of the Army, praising his leadership and accomplishments.
However, no further details were provided. Driscoll, a former law school classmate of Vice President JD Vance and Army veteran, had previously sought political office and advised the Trump 2024 reelection campaign. The resignation could leave the Army without permanent civilian or uniformed leadership as the Iran war continues into its seventh month.
Hegseth had previously fired Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George and has yet to appoint a permanent successor.
