INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY
Army Secretary Dan Driscoll is expected to step down by year-end after months of tension with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. His departure would deepen a leadership gap in the Army, which already lacks a Senate-confirmed chief of staff after Gen. Randy George was fired in April. Driscoll, a JD Vance ally and former Army Ranger, pushed modernization, commercial technology, and lessons from Ukraine during his 18-month tenure. Source: WSJ
