Army Secretary Driscoll Resigns | Tampa News

Army Secretary Dan Driscoll has stepped down after an 18-month tenure, marking another senior military exit under this administration. His resignation, confirmed by the White House without a stated reason, follows reported tensions with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth — who recently ousted top Army officers including General Randy George and General Christopher Donahue. A Yale Law School alum and Iraq War veteran, Driscoll was tapped by Trump as a “disruptor and change agent,” playing a key role in Ukraine-Russia peace talks. Praised by the White House for boosting Army readiness and advancing presidential goals, he focused on modernization, recruitment, and defense industry growth during his term, often citing his family’s military legacy to underscore his commitment to soldiers.
