US Army Secretary Driscoll resigns after months of friction with Hegseth
Driscoll, who is considered close to US Vice President JD Vance, becomes the latest senior official who has either been fired or pushed out in Hegseth's Pentagon.
US Army Secretary Dan Driscoll has resigned following months of tension with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, according to a Reuters source. Driscoll, confirmed in February 2025 and considered close to Vice President JD Vance, is the latest senior official to depart Hegseth's Pentagon. The White House praised Driscoll's tenure, with spokeswoman Anna Kelly stating he was "highly effective in advancing President Trump's agenda... by providing outstanding leadership during historic military operations." Driscoll advocated for the Army to acquire cheaper weapons more nimbly, criticizing large defense contractors, stating they "conned the American people and the Pentagon and the Army."
