Dan Driscoll

Daniel P. Driscoll serves as the U.S. Secretary of the Army, confirmed in 2025 under the Trump administration. A West Point graduate and Army veteran, he worked in venture capital and private equity before returning to government service in a senior civilian role overseeing the Army’s budget, acquisition, and modernization programs.

As Army Secretary, Driscoll is the civilian authority behind the service’s push to field affordable air defense interceptors — a program targeting the cost asymmetry that makes drone and missile swarms effective. His oversight of the first live-fire demonstration places him at the center of a broader effort to rethink how ground forces counter mass aerial threats.
