U.S. Secretary Of The Army Is Preparing To Resign

He took part in the peace talks in Ukraine.

U.S. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll plans to step down from his post by the end of the year—the reason cited is an escalating conflict with Pentagon chief Pete Hegset. This was reported on August 21 by The Wall Street Journal.

The publication’s sources specify that Driscoll’s resignation could take place even earlier than scheduled.

According to the WSJ, this summer Driscoll and his family vacated the spacious residence to which the Secretary of the Army is entitled. The residence in question is located at Joint Base Meyer-Henderson Hall, near Arlington National Cemetery—where other high-ranking Defense Department officials also reside.

According to the publication, the official’s family moved to North Carolina, while Driscoll himself remained in a small apartment on the base.

Driscoll, who has a longstanding friendship with Vice President J.D. Vance, fell out of favor with Hegset in the early days of Donald Trump’s new administration, according to the WSJ, — after he proposed organizing a trip for Vance and Trump to visit military personnel to discuss army reform.

During his year and a half as Secretary of the Army, Driscoll built a strong working partnership with General Randy George, whom Hegset removed from his position as Army Chief of Staff in April without explanation.

The publication notes that together, Driscoll and George actively promoted the introduction of new technologies in the Army, viewing them as the key to waging the wars of the future. Together with General Chris Donahue, who previously commanded U.S. Army forces in Europe, they also visited Ukraine, where they discussed the prospects for peace talks with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Driscoll has repeatedly called on the U.S. military to learn from the Ukrainian army—particularly regarding the use of commercial technologies directly on the battlefield. During his tenure, the private sector committed to investing over $25 billion in the creation of data centers, facilities for processing critical minerals, and the modernization of mess halls at military bases across the country.
