Army Secretary Dan Driscoll is resigning due to blocked modernization efforts and recent leadership upheaval. His departure, coupled with the earlier firing of Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George, leaves the Army without Senate-confirmed civilian or uniformed leadership. Driscoll had expressed his concerns about the Army's state to President Trump. A White House official stated Driscoll was asked to remain longer, but he felt it was time to leave. Driscoll is expected to depart the Pentagon soon. His resignation comes amidst an icy relationship with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who reportedly harbored suspicions towards Driscoll. These suspicions may have stemmed from Driscoll's close ties to Vice President JD Vance. Driscoll and Gen. George were proponents of the Army Transformation Initiative, which aimed to merge commands and reduce certain weapon systems. Known as "drone guy" for his modernization focus, Driscoll had a rapid ascent in the Trump administration. He gained some Democratic support during his confirmation, highlighting his broader appeal.
