No justification for Driscoll's departure has been presented, but it has been reported that he was sitting loose due to disagreements with Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.
John Phelan left his post as US Secretary of the Navy in April. Several generals and admirals have also been replaced.
For the time being, the US Army is without permanent leadership, both civilian and military, writes the AFP news agency. Army Chief of Staff Randy George was fired by Hegseth in the spring, and no permanent replacement has been appointed.
