Army Secretary Dan Driscoll resigns amid Hegseth tensions

U.S. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll submitted his resignation after approximately 18 months in the role, amid reported tensions with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Driscoll, the youngest-ever army secretary, had been a prominent figure in Trump's military agenda, known for his focus on drone technology and involvement in Ukraine peace talks. No official reason was given for his departure, which continues a pattern of high-profile military leadership exits under the Trump administration.
