Army Leadership Shake-Up Under New Acting Secretary | Miami News

The Army’s top leadership is in upheaval as Adam Telle, a seasoned Corps of Engineers veteran with White House and Senate experience, steps in as acting secretary after Dan Driscoll’s abrupt resignation.

Compounding the shake-up: General Randy George and General Chris Donahue have also departed or retired, both key figures in Army transformation plans.
