New Facts: Army Secretary Dan Driscoll resigns
Army Secretary Dan Driscoll submitted his resignation on Monday, and the White House confirmed it. He leaves after about 18 months in the job and months of friction with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
Days before stepping down, Driscoll took concerns about the Army’s direction under Hegseth directly to President Trump in a White House meeting. He then resigned the following Monday.
His exit comes as Hegseth is reshaping Army leadership, removing at least six officers from a two‑star promotion list and, days earlier, blocking four one‑star promotions. Driscoll’s resignation adds another vacancy at the top of the Army amid those moves.
