Army Secretary Dan Driscoll is anticipated to resign soon, as his resignation has been accepted by the White House. This information comes from a source familiar with the situation and a White House official.

NBC News previously disclosed Driscoll’s intent to leave the administration by Labor Day. He had visited the White House last week to discuss his future, although the outcome of that meeting was not immediately clear.

Driscoll is well-regarded by both Republicans and Democrats. His departure has been rumored for several months. He has held his current position since February 2025 and is closely associated with Vice President JD Vance.

His resignation marks another departure of a high-profile official from the Defense Department. Earlier this year, Navy Secretary John Phelan and Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George were removed from their positions.

The Wall Street Journal was the first to report Driscoll’s resignation.

White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly commended Driscoll, noting his effectiveness in advancing President Trump’s agenda. His leadership was highlighted during historic military operations, emphasizing readiness and lethality, and playing a role in negotiations between Russia and Ukraine.

Driscoll has had disagreements on various issues with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Hegseth has removed several high-ranking Pentagon officials, including George and Phelan. Driscoll reportedly raised concerns about efforts to transform and enhance Army readiness, which Hegseth allegedly hindered by dismissing key generals.

The Pentagon has directed inquiries about Driscoll’s resignation to the Army, which has yet to respond.
