Army Secretary Dan Driscoll has submitted his resignation to President Donald Trump, a move that comes amidst significant internal friction over the Army’s transformation and readiness initiatives. Sources reveal that Driscoll raised concerns with the administration, specifically pointing to Secretary of War Pete Hegseth as an impediment to these critical efforts. The tension reportedly escalated as Hegseth proceeded to remove several senior Army leaders, including Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George, a decision Driscoll publicly lamented during a House Appropriations subcommittee hearing. Driscoll described driving directly to General George’s home after learning of the request for his resignation, highlighting his deep respect for George’s 42 years of service and his role as a ‘transformational leader.’ This resignation, pending White House acceptance, signals a deep division within the Army’s leadership, with Driscoll, an ally of Vice President JD Vance and a proponent of expanding drone capabilities, expected to depart the Pentagon soon.
