US Army Secretary Dan Driscoll to Step Down Amid Leadership Tensions
US Army Secretary Dan Driscoll is expected to leave his post by the end of the year amid tensions with Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth. Driscoll's departure would deepen leadership uncertainty, as the Army currently lacks a Senate-confirmed chief of staff following Hegseth's removal of General Randy George in April. General Christopher LaNeve serves as acting chief of staff. Driscoll and his family have relocated from the official residence, and despite friction with Hegseth, Driscoll maintained a strong partnership with George, focusing on technological innovation and reforms.
