Axios reports U.S. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll announced his resignation on Monday, citing two primary reasons: he believes his Army modernization reforms were being blocked, and the turmoil triggered by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s dismissal of multiple senior generals. Driscoll recently met with Trump and expressed concern about the service; the Army currently lacks Senate-confirmed leaders at both the civilian and uniformed levels. Once viewed as a rising figure in the Trump administration, Driscoll had a tense relationship with Hegseth; some U.S. officials say Hegseth distrusted him in part because of Driscoll’s close ties to Vice President Vance, with whom he attended Yale Law School.
