Chaos

Soon after his first day at the Pentagon in early 2025, Army Secretary Dan Driscoll walked into his boss’s office with a proposal. Driscoll, a longtime friend and aide to Vice President JD Vance, offered to organize a visit by Vance and President Trump to meet soldiers and talk about reforming the Army.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth raised his voice, telling Driscoll that he, Hegseth, was in charge and ordered Driscoll to stay in his lane, according to people familiar with the encounter.

The encounter was just one early episode in what has become a rocky relationship between the Pentagon chief and the Army secretary.

The dispute between Hegseth and Driscoll is occurring in the midst of unprecedented military commitments around the world.
