President Donald Trump has announced the appointment of Adam Telle as the new acting Army secretary. This decision marks a significant change in the leadership of the Army.
On Thursday, Trump stated that Telle would assume the role immediately and praised him as ‘a Great Patriot, who is respected by all.’ Prior to this appointment, Telle served as the assistant secretary of the Army for civil works.
Telle succeeds Dan Driscoll, who resigned this week from his position as the Army’s chief civilian leader. Driscoll’s departure was shared through a late-night social media post on Tuesday, stating his last full day as Army secretary would be Wednesday. He did not disclose the reasons behind his decision to step down.
Driscoll’s resignation follows ongoing speculation about his departure amid reported disagreements with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The details surrounding these disagreements and their impact on Driscoll’s resignation remain unclear.
This announcement comes as a developing story, and further updates are anticipated.
