The United States Army Secretary, Driscoll, submitted his resignation after months of friction with Pete Hegseth, the Defense Secretary. The departure of the official comes at a time of great instability for the American military department.
Driscoll is an Army veteran and a longtime friend of Vice President JD Vance, which makes his resignation particularly significant in the current political context of the administration.
The tensions between Driscoll and Hegseth had been ongoing for several months, according to sources close to the matter, creating an increasingly difficult relationship between the two defense department leaders.
The resignation also occurs six months after the start of the war with Iran, a conflict that shows no signs of ending and that has tested American military leadership.
