Army Secretary Steps Down Amid Leadership Shake-up | Raleigh News

Army Secretary Dan Driscoll is stepping down after 18 months in office, marking a major leadership shakeup as he exits amid reported tensions with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. At just 38, Driscoll became the youngest person ever to hold the role and brought deep military roots and close ties to VP JD Vance and former President Trump — including a direct assignment by Trump to help negotiate peace in Ukraine. His departure follows the recent ousting of Army Chief of Staff General Randy George, leaving the Army navigating critical strategic shifts without two key leaders. His resignation takes effect Thursday, setting the stage for a new era of leadership at the nation’s largest military branch.
