Army Secretary Expected to Step Down by Year’s End

“Army Secretary Dan Driscoll is expected to step down from his role by the end of the year, if not sooner, after months of tension with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“Driscoll’s departure would leave the Army without a Senate-confirmed leader. Hegseth fired Gen. Randy George as the Army’s chief of staff in April without explanation, and President Trump hasn’t nominated a replacement. Gen. Christopher LaNeve, the Army vice chief who was formerly Hegseth’s senior military aide, is serving as acting Army chief of staff.”
