According to media reports, Daniel Driscoll, the Under Secretary of the U.S. Army, has submitted his resignation. This information comes from CNN and Fox News, which cite unnamed sources. Driscoll had held the position for only a year and a half.

Reports describe Driscoll as a close associate of U.S. Vice President JD Vance. Speculation about possible changes in Driscoll's position had already arisen in recent weeks, suggesting ongoing discomfort within the ranks.

Internal disputes within the leadership of the U.S. Army appear to be intensifying, according to reports from other media outlets. Notably, it has been mentioned that there have been recurring conflicts between Driscoll and Pete Hegseth, a prominent military advisor.

The exact cause of the resignation has not been specified. The timing and circumstances that led to this decision remain unknown, pending further information.
