Dan Driscoll

Dan Driscoll submitted his resignation to President Trump after months of severe tension with Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and a wave of dismissals of senior officers. His departure leads to an unprecedented situation where the U.S. Army is left without a single leader, civilian or military, confirmed by the Senate.

Dan Driscoll is expected to resign from his position by the end of the year following months of tension with Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, reported The Wall Street Journal. The report comes after Hegseth fired the US Army Chief of Staff in April. According to the report, Driscoll's family already left the official residence reserved for the Secretary of the Army during the summer.
