US Army secretary expected to step down by year's end after months of tension with Hegseth - report

US Army Secretary Dan Driscoll is expected to resign by the end of 2026 amid ongoing tensions with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. This comes after Hegseth abruptly fired General Randy George, the Army's chief of staff, in April without providing an explanation, prompting criticism from Republican lawmakers and Driscoll himself, who praised George as a 'transformative leader.' Driscoll had previously collaborated closely with George on modernizing the military through technological integration and visited Ukraine alongside General Chris Donahue to discuss peace talks with President Volodymyr Zelensky. Despite these efforts, Driscoll has reportedly distanced himself from the high-profile housing provided to top defense officials, relocating his family to North Carolina and moving into a smaller base apartment. While President Donald Trump recently commended Driscoll, no replacement has yet been nominated for the Army secretary position.
