US Army secretary Dan Driscoll to step down after clashes with Hegseth

US Army Secretary Dan Driscoll plans to leave his position before the end of this year.

This comes after a series of disputes and tensions with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, according to the Wall Street Journal.

The move coincides with the ongoing vacancy in the Army chief of staff role, after Hegseth dismissed General Randy George last April.

Driscoll and his family have already left the official Army secretary residence at Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall, adjacent to Arlington National Cemetery, where several senior defense officials reside.
