A senior Pentagon official is leaving his post after less than two years in office, marking another high-profile exit among military leadership during the current administration. The White House announced the departure of the Army Secretary, continuing a trend of turnover at the top ranks of the U.S. military. The move comes amid ongoing discussions about leadership stability within the Defense Department. No immediate reason was provided for the resignation.


Army Secretary Dan Driscoll is stepping down after 18 months on the job, the White House said Monday, in the latest departure of a top military leader during the Trump administration.
