A senior US Army official is reported to be preparing to step down after months of tension involving Pete Hegseth, according to NDTV. The reporting indicates his exit would add pressure to Army leadership at a time when the service has been operating without a Senate-confirmed chief.
The Jerusalem Post links the reported dispute to actions earlier in the year, saying the tensions follow Hegseth’s April firing of General Randy George, the Army’s chief of staff, without explanation. That decision draws criticism not only from Republicans in Congress but also from Army Secretary Dan Driscoll. The Jerusalem Post further reports the expected departure could occur by the end of the year.
Together, the accounts describe a period of strain inside senior Army leadership following the April dismissal, with differing details on timing and emphasis on how the leadership vacuum could be affected by the reported resignation or stepping down.
