Trump Names Army Corps Leader as Acting Army Secretary

President Trump has selected the head of the Army Corps of Engineers to serve as the acting Secretary of the Army. This decision follows the recent resignation of Daniel P. Driscoll.

Driscoll stepped down after disagreements with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth concerning the removal of senior generals in the Army. These disagreements highlighted ongoing tensions within the Army's leadership.

The appointment aims to provide continuity in Army leadership during a period marked by significant changes at the top ranks.

The Army Corps of Engineers plays a crucial role in military construction and engineering projects, making its leader a fitting choice for this interim position.
