US Army Secretary Dan Driscoll Resigns, Army Will Face Leadership Gap

According to The Wall Street Journal, US Army Secretary Dan Driscoll has submitted his resignation to President Trump and is expected to leave the Pentagon within a few days. Dan Driscoll had a conflict with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over the direction of the Army's development and the dismissal of several senior officers. With Pete Hegseth firing former Army Chief of Staff Randy George and Christopher LaNeff serving as Acting Chief of Staff, Dan Driscoll's departure will result in the US Army losing any civilian or military leaders confirmed by the Senate.
