At Least 25 Top Pentagon Officials Have Departed

“With Army Secretary Dan Driscoll’s resignation announcement this week, the number of top Pentagon officials to depart under Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth climbed to more than two dozen,” MS NOW reports.

“At least 25 military and civilian leaders have been fired or forced out or have retired early since Hegseth’s tenure as defense secretary began in January 2025, creating a dearth of experienced, nonpartisan officials at the top of the Pentagon’s ranks. Several others have been reassigned or demoted.”
