Army Secretary Dan Driscoll has tendered his resignation to President Trump and is expected to depart his Pentagon role in the coming days.
His decision follows months of friction with War Secretary Pete Hegseth. The Post previously reported that Hegseth was concerned Trump might dismiss him and name Driscoll as his replacement.
“Secretary Driscoll has been highly effective in advancing President Trump’s agenda to Make America Strong Again at the Department of the Army by providing outstanding leadership during historic military operations, restoring an emphasis on readiness and lethality, assisting with negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, and more,” White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly said in a statement.
“The United States Army is more powerful than ever thanks to his work alongside the Commander-in-Chief and Secretary of War,” she added.
Driscoll’s final day at the Pentagon could come as soon as Sept. 4, according to a source.
The Wall Street Journal first reported Driscoll’s resignation.
