U.S. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll has resigned after 18 months, the White House said on Aug. 31, becoming the latest to leave the Pentagon following the start of the Iran war in February.
No reason was given for the departure.
“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 provided to media outlets.
“The United States Army is more powerful than ever thanks to his work alongside the Commander-in-Chief and Secretary of War,” she added.
