The Hollowed Out Leadership of the Army The recent resignation of army secretary Daniel Driscoll after 18 months on the job is a symptom of a deeper problem: the erosion of effective leadership within the Pentagon's senior ranks.
Democrats and some Republicans have pointed out that this development raises serious concerns about the competence and culture being cultivated by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.
Driscoll's departure was likely due to his disagreements with Hegseth over key issues, including the army's transformation initiative.
