President Donald Trump has officially appointed Adam Telle as the new acting Army secretary. This latest development marks another change in the top leadership of the service.

Trump announced late Thursday that Telle would assume the role immediately. He described Telle as “a Great Patriot, who is respected by all.” Previously, Telle held the position of assistant secretary of the Army for civil works.

Adam Telle succeeds Dan Driscoll, who recently resigned as the Army’s top civilian official. Driscoll confirmed in a social media post on Tuesday that his last full day as Army secretary would be on Wednesday. However, he did not provide a specific reason for his resignation.

The departure of Driscoll follows weeks of speculation regarding potential disagreements with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Further details about these events will be provided as the situation unfolds.
