美国陆军秘书长丹尼尔·德里斯科尔周一向总统特朗普递交了辞呈1。德里斯科尔与国防部长皮特·赫格塞思在军事领导人任免问题上存在分歧1,已亲自会见特朗普讨论陆军现状1。
德里斯科尔的离职发生在美国陆军面临前所未有压力的时期。陆军目前正面临伊朗在中东的导弹威胁,并需支援乌克兰对抗俄罗斯1,这是自伊拉克和阿富汗战争以来陆军最繁忙的时期1。然而,军队的领导层正经历动荡。陆军自4月赫格塞思解除兰迪·乔治将军职务后一直没有参谋长1。赫格塞思已强行撤职至少三名被视为乔治潜在继任者的高级军官1,导致陆军面临领导真空。
赫格塞思表示希望看到五角大楼首席发言人肖恩·帕内尔担任陆军秘书长1。帕内尔因在《星条旗报》上解雇三名记者而引发争议,记者随后提起诉讼1。年仅40岁的德里斯科尔曾被视为若赫格塞思下台可能的替代人选1。
Daniel Driescoll, the Secretary of the Army, has submitted his resignation to President Trump following disagreements with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over the removal of military leaders.1 The departure comes as the Army faces its most demanding period since the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, confronting threats from Iranian missiles in the Middle East while supporting Ukraine's defense against Russia.1
Hegseth dismissed Army Chief of Staff Randy George in April, leaving the Army without a permanent leader in that role.1 At least three additional senior military officers viewed as potential successors to George have been forcibly removed by the Defense Secretary.1 Driescoll, who is only 40 years old, met personally with Trump on Monday to discuss the Army's situation before tendering his resignation.1
The Pentagon's chief spokesperson Sean Panneill has been identified by Hegseth as a preferred candidate to become the next Army Secretary.1 Panneill has faced controversy for firing three journalists at the Stars and Stripes newspaper, actions that prompted the reporters to file a lawsuit.1
