"These are - in sum - not the typical responsibilities of an Army secretary, aka the service's No. 1 civilian."
"We got Driscoll, who's well-liked, who's well-trusted. He's connected with U.S. government leadership,"
"He's got ... experience as a soldier; he's now leading the Army. So he's a military guy. Hopefully, that will connect us better with the culture of the Ukrainians and Russians."
President Trump dispatched Steve Witkoff to Moscow and directed Driscoll to steer the next stage of talks with Kyiv. Those tasks fall outside the typical responsibilities of the Army secretary, the service's top civilian. Driscoll's profile has risen because of trust inside the White House, willingness to engage broader media, and extensive travel to U.S. military installations and allied countries. Vice President Vance suggested Driscoll for the Ukraine trip; Vance and Driscoll are former Yale Law classmates. Driscoll, nicknamed "drone guy" for military modernization work, traveled with senior Army leaders and received briefings on drones, missiles, vehicles, situational awareness tools, and production.
