AIA source familiar with the matter told Reuters that US Army Secretary Dan Driscoll has submitted his resignation to the White House, following months of tension and disagreements with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
The Wall Street Journal was the first to report Driscoll's resignation, marking the latest development within the Pentagon's leadership team.
The resignation comes weeks after reports indicated that Driscoll was planning to leave his post by the end of the year, or possibly sooner, due to ongoing friction with Hegseth.
Relations between the two officials have grown increasingly strained in recent months, as the US Department of Defense has undergone significant leadership changes.
Driscoll's resignation marks another shift in Army leadership, following the dismissal of Army Chief of Staff General Randy George last April by Hegseth.
