US Army secretary resigns after tension with Hegseth
Dan Driscoll, in submitting his resignation, brought up concerns with the direction of the Army.
U.S. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll tendered his resignation on Monday, citing ongoing disputes with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The tension between the two officials stemmed from differing viewpoints on the Army's direction and key personnel decisions. Driscoll, a Yale Law School classmate of Vice President JD Vance, had been hinting at his imminent departure for months.
Hegseth's recent dismissals of senior officers, including former Army Chief Gen. Randy George, and the sidelining of Driscoll's initiatives to modernize the service were among the primary sources of contention. The resignation marks the end of a significant chapter in the Army's leadership, with potential ripple effects on the Department's focus and direction.
