U.S. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll is expected to step down from his role by the end of the year after months of tension with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, APA reports citing Wall Street Journal.
Driscoll's departure would leave the Army without a Senate-confirmed leader as the U.S. looks to resolve a war it began alongside Israel nearly six months ago.
It would also add to upheaval at all levels of leadership at the Pentagon under President Donald Trump's second term, including the firing of U.S. Army Chief of Staff Randy George in April, the previous chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, as well as the chief of naval operations and Air Force vice chief of staff.
The Wall Street Journal reported that Driscoll and his family this summer moved out of the house reserved for the Army Secretary.
