Dan Driscoll has resigned as Army Secretary, the White House announced, stepping down after 18 months leading the service branch's civilian operations.
The departure represents another shift in military leadership at the highest levels of the Pentagon. Driscoll held the position of the Army's senior civilian official, overseeing the service branch under the authority of the Secretary of Defense.
The White House confirmed the resignation but provided no additional details regarding the circumstances of Driscoll's departure or the timeline for naming a successor.
The announcement comes amid what officials describe as a series of changes within military leadership positions. The Army Secretary role serves as the principal civilian authority for the Department of the Army, working alongside military leadership to implement defense policy and manage the service branch's operations.
Driscoll's 18-month tenure places his appointment sometime in early 2025, though the White House has not released information about his plans following the resignation or whether he will remain in government service in another capacity.
