Adam Telle Appointed as Acting Army Secretary by President Trump

President Donald Trump has appointed Adam Telle as the new acting secretary of the Army. This marks another significant change in the Army’s leadership. The announcement came late Thursday, with Trump expressing confidence in Telle’s abilities. He referred to Telle as a ‘Great Patriot, who is respected by all.’

Adam Telle has been serving as the assistant secretary of the Army for civil works prior to this appointment. His new role takes effect immediately. Telle succeeds Dan Driscoll, who resigned from his position as the Army’s top civilian official earlier this week.

Dan Driscoll announced his resignation in a social media post late Tuesday night. He noted that his last full day would be Wednesday but did not provide specific reasons for his departure. Driscoll’s resignation follows weeks of rumors about potential disagreements with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, which may have influenced his decision to step down.
