Having resigned this week, Army Secretary Dan Driscoll leaves Fort Bragg amid Pentagon tensions, highlighting the post’s strategic role and its evolving leadership. Fort Bragg is the U.S. Army’s largest installation, a key network node for airborne and special operations, and a living symbol of American military reach.
Dan Driscoll has resigned as US secretary of the Army after 18 months in the post, following reported months of clashes with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Driscoll had raised concerns about Army transformation and readiness and opposed Hegseth's firings of senior officers. His exit leaves the Army short of permanent civilian and uniformed leadership during an ongoing conflict with Iran.
