Army Secretary Nominee Daniel Driscoll Faces Senate Confirmation Hearing

Driscoll emphasizes modernization, recruitment challenges, and lawful conduct in a hearing that largely avoids soldier quality-of-life issues.

Daniel Driscoll, President Donald Trump's nominee for Secretary of the Army, appeared before the Senate Armed Services Committee for his confirmation hearing.
Driscoll focused on strategic priorities such as modernizing defense systems, addressing recruitment shortfalls, and improving operational readiness.
Despite bipartisan questions, little attention was given to quality-of-life issues affecting soldiers, such as housing, pay, and mental health support.
Driscoll committed to maintaining high training standards, expanding recruitment initiatives, and advancing cost-effective solutions for drone threats.
The nominee rejected concerns about following unlawful orders, emphasizing his commitment to constitutional and lawful directives.
