President-elect Trump has announced his intent to nominate Dan Driscoll, a senior adviser to Vice President-elect JD Vance, to be Army secretary.

Trump, in a Truth Social post, said Driscoll “brings a powerful combination of experiences to serve as a disruptor and change agent.”

Driscoll, who attended Yale Law School with Vance, ran unsuccessfully for Congress in North Carolina in 2020. Prior to that he served in the Army for three years, being deployed to Iraq in 2009.

Trump said Driscoll previously worked in venture capital and private equity.

“Dan will be a fearless and relentless fighter for America's Soldiers and the America First agenda,” Trump said.
