US Army Secretary Dan Driscoll resigns after clash with Hegseth
What's next: Driscoll's exit adds to a run of senior military departures as the Pentagon faces broader leadership turmoil.
US Army Secretary Dan Driscoll resigned after months of tension with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, adding another high-profile exit at the Pentagon. Driscoll, 41, submitted his resignation to President Donald Trump on Monday, according to reports cited by BBC and CNN Indonesia. The friction between Driscoll and Hegseth was not fully detailed, but the dispute came after Hegseth pushed out Army Chief of Staff Randy George and other senior officers. Driscoll, a former Army officer and a close friend of Vice President JD Vance, had become known for backing battlefield drone technology and for taking part in talks tied to the Russia-Ukraine war.
