According to a source familiar with the situation, Driscoll's departure comes amid ongoing conflicts within the Pentagon under Hegseth’s leadership. Driscoll had been advocating for military transformation, including more agile procurement of affordable weapons and criticizing major defense contractors, which reportedly put him at odds with Hegseth. The White House has not yet confirmed whether it accepted Driscoll’s resignation. Driscoll, who was confirmed to his role in February 2025, had close ties to Vice President Kamala Harris and had previously worked with former President Donald Trump on diplomatic efforts related to Ukraine. His resignation occurs as the United States continues its military involvement in the Middle East, particularly against Iran.

A resignation has fallen that threatens to launch a serious war in the White House.Američki tajnik kopnenih snaga Dan Driscoll podnio je ostavku Bijeloj kući nakon višemjesečnih napetosti s ministrom obrane Peteom Hegsethom. Driscoll, koji je bio blizak američkom potpredsjedniku J.D. Vanceu, postaje najnoviji visoki dužnosnik koji je otpušten ili izguran iz Hegsethovog Pentagona. Ovaj događaj nastaje u trenutku kada su SAD još uvijek u ratu s Irankom, s tisućama vojnika raspoređenih na Bliskom istoku. Nije jasno je li Bijela kuća prihvatila njegovu ostavku. Driscoll je izrazio zabrinutost nad transformacijom i spremnošću vojske, te Hegsethovim blokiranjem tih napora, posebno otpuštanjem generala koji su bili odgovorni. Vojska je odbila komentirati vijest, koju je prvi objavio Wall Street Journal. Driscoll je također kritizirao velike proizvođače oružja i tražio bolju agilnost u nabavi jeftinijeg oružja. Jedan američki dužnosnik naveo je da je Hegseth smatrao Driscolla prijetnjom unutar birokracije, ali njegove veze s Vanceom otežale su Hegsethu da ga smijeni.

Jutarnji listIndependentConservativeFactual 75Objective 609/1/2026 The collapse of the Pentagon system: "The grand plan for the US military is now definitely dead".The White House has accepted the resignation of Dan Driscoll, deputy chief of personnel at the Pentagon responsible for U.S. ground forces, amid ongoing conflicts between him and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Driscoll, a close ally of Vice President JD Vance and a former military veteran who served in Iraq, had been advocating for comprehensive reforms of the Army, including collaboration with the private sector and purchasing thousands of affordable drones. His departure follows months of tension with Hegseth over disagreements regarding military modernization efforts and the dismissal of high-ranking officers, including General Randy George, a highly respected officer who passed congressional confirmation easily. Driscoll had previously defended General George before Congress, calling him 'unbelievable' and a 'transformational leader.' The conflict escalated after Hegseth replaced several generals earlier this year, and Driscoll had already indicated he would resign around the time of the midterm elections. President Donald Trump, who had announced a purge of 'woke leftist' officers during his campaign, appears to have sided with Hegseth despite Driscoll’s loyalty and past work
