US Army Secretary Driscoll says no plans to resign despite clashes with Defense Secretary Hegseth: Report

US Army Secretary Dan Driscoll said that he has no plans to leave his post with the Pentagon, despite a series of internal clashes with Defense Secretary Pete Hegesth, according to a Tuesday report by The Washington Post.

The Trump administration has praised Driscoll for his efforts as commander of the Army's military forces since the beginning of the US-Israeli war with Iran, which began more than a month ago.

"Serving under President Trump has been the honor of a lifetime and I remain laser focused on providing America with the strongest land fighting force the world has ever seen," Driscoll said in his statement to The Post. "I have no plans to depart or resign as the Secretary of the Army."

Driscoll's high-profile announcement comes in the wake of two other senior military officials being ousted from their positions due to their differences with Hegseth. There have also been reports that Hegseth has an interest in Driscoll's post with the army.

The Post's report said that Hegseth and Driscoll have disagreed on numerous issues, including Hegseth’s moves to block the promotions of several army officers. Sources told the Post that military officials are questioning how much longer the two men can coexist in their respective positions amid their ongoing infighting.

Hegseth’s spokesman, Sean Parnell, declined to address questions about his interest in the Army secretary job and dismissed any speculation that there is any tension between the two men.

"(Pete Hegseth) maintains excellent working relationships with the secretaries of every military service branch, including Army Secretary Dan Driscoll," Parnell said in a statement.
