Summary
Army’s top civilian leader Dan Driscoll is stepping down after 18 months, citing it as “the honor of a lifetime,” amid growing tensions with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth—who recently ousted Driscoll’s allies and halted a drone modernization program he championed. Driscoll’s departure comes at a pivotal moment as U.S. military airstrikes resume against Iran and the Army faces leadership voids. His role as a key peace negotiator between Russia and Ukraine has also drawn bipartisan concern over Pentagon culture and dissent.
