Donald Trump appointed Adam R Telle as the acting Secretary of the U.S. Army on Thursday, following Dan Driscoll's resignation due to tensions with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Telle, who is a civilian leader at the Army Corps of Engineers, has over two decades of experience working for Republican senators and served in the White House during Trump's first term.
As the Assistant Secretary of the Army (Civil Works), Telle oversees the Army Corps of Engineers' Civil Works program, handling commercial navigation, flood and storm damage reduction, and permitting activities. In his new role, Telle will oversee the largest military force in the U.S. at a time when Washington is engaged in a conflict with Tehran and has significant Army forces deployed across the Middle East.
