陆军部长丹·德里斯科尔的离任让人们重新审视特朗普政府在五角大楼的全面改革，民主党人和部分共和党人警告称，国防部长皮特·赫格斯塞思的施政方式正在造成军方高层领导人之间的不稳定。
但总统更换高级军事领导人并非新鲜事。从亚伯拉罕·林肯到哈里·杜鲁门，历届总统都曾在对指挥官的领导失去信心、在战略上存在分歧或希望改变方向时解除其职务。
当前局势的特别之处在于人事变动的速度——以及围绕本届政府的改革是让军方基础更稳固，还是在此过程中造成了领导真空的辩论。

北卡罗来纳州共和党参议员汤姆·蒂利斯表示，赫格斯塞思“正在我们军方高层制造领导真空”，而参议院军事委员会民主党资深议员、罗德岛州的杰克·里德则称：“赫格斯塞思正在培育一种文化，在这种文化中，异议会受到惩罚，能力次于个人效忠。”
根据哥伦比亚广播公司的报道，在特朗普的第二任期内，至少有20名军方领导人因多方面冲突离职，其中包括与赫格斯塞思的领导分歧、军事战略分歧以及关于多元化、公平性和包容性（DEI）政策的争论。
帕内尔告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，五角大楼“团结在”赫格斯塞思的愿景背后。
“赫格斯塞思部长一直是战争部的变革型领导人，在特朗普总统的指示下，他开启了以实力求和平的新时代。标准和才干回归，我们的武库比以往任何时候都更强大，各军种的士气和征兵率都达到了历史最高水平，”帕内尔补充道。“赫格斯塞思部长削减了官僚主义，激发了创新，始终如一地为我们的作战人员带来福祉。”
追溯到亚伯拉罕·林肯时期的总统们，都曾在认为有必要更换人员时解除高级军事领导人的职务——这是文官掌控军队的长期传统，并非本届政府的新创举。
前总统巴拉克·奥巴马曾在2014年接受国防部长查克·哈格尔的辞呈，当时奥巴马得出结论，鉴于政府在打击伊斯兰国（ISIS）的战略、叙利亚政策以及国防部管理方面存在分歧，需要新的五角大楼领导班子。

当时的报道称，此次离职是被迫辞职。
哈格尔离职后，奥巴马表示，前国防部长“领导该部门度过了这场转型期”，现在是“他完成任期的合适时机”。他赞扬哈格尔帮助推动了军事战略的现代化，并满足了奥巴马对中国崛起和俄罗斯侵略等长期威胁的担忧。
哈里·杜鲁门解除了五星上将、二战美国最杰出指挥官之一道格拉斯·麦克阿瑟的职务。
两人在朝鲜战争问题上产生分歧，杜鲁门希望避免将冲突扩大到中国，而麦克阿瑟则持相反主张。
一个早期例子发生在内战期间，亚伯拉罕·林肯对乔治·麦克莱伦将军谨慎对待与罗伯特·李将军作战的方式感到沮丧，随后解除了他的波托马克河军团司令职务。林肯后来在联邦军队在弗雷德里克斯堡战败后解除了安布罗斯·伯恩赛德的职务，由约瑟夫·胡克接任。

特朗普周四任命亚当·特尔为代理陆军部长，称他是“一位伟大的爱国者，受到所有人的尊重”，并表示他将在德里斯科尔辞职后立即上任。
特尔此前担任陆军助理部长（民事事务）。
德里斯科尔的离职据报道是因为他与战争部长皮特·赫格斯塞思在政府对陆军转型和战备的担忧问题上产生分歧，包括他认为赫格斯塞思阻碍了这些努力。

副总统万斯周四表示，德里斯科尔是他的“非常好的朋友”，也是一位“伟大的陆军部长”。
万斯承认，他同意赫格斯塞思的观点，即有必要“在战争部进行文化转型”。

“德里斯科尔部长在历史性军事行动期间提供了出色的领导，恢复了对战备和致命性的重视，协助推动俄乌之间的谈判，等等，他在陆军部高效推进了特朗普总统‘让美国再次强大’的议程，”白宫发言人安娜·凯利在一份声明中说道。
“由于他与总司令和战争部长的共同努力，美国陆军比以往任何时候都更加强大，”她补充道。
特朗普在首届政府上台时就提出了以实力求和平的理念，旨在重塑全球对美国的看法，同时推进军队现代化，例如创建美国太空军。
在他的第一任期内，特朗普有两名经参议院确认的国防部长，包括吉姆·马蒂斯，他在特朗普宣布从叙利亚撤军计划后于2018年辞职，以及马克·埃斯珀，特朗普在2020年因包括军方在应对国内骚乱中的角色在内的分歧将其解雇。
“军方军种层面的文职领导层变动并不罕见。仅在特朗普总统的第一任期内，陆军就有两名经参议院确认的部长，马克·埃斯珀和瑞安·麦卡锡，而罗伯特·斯皮尔和麦卡锡也曾在领导层过渡期间担任代理部长，”一名五角大楼高级官员告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。
“法律这样架构是有原因的，”该官员补充道。“陆军部在国防部长的权力、指导和控制下运作，陆军部长专门负责确保陆军政策符合总统和国防部长的国家安全政策，并确保他们的决策和指示得到有效、及时的执行。”

Trump’s Pentagon shake-up revives a presidential power play with a long history
September 5, 2026 7:00am EDT / Fox News
Democrats and some Republicans warn that the pace of military leadership turnover is creating instability at the top

Ret. Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg discusses Army Secretary Dan Driscoll submitting his resignation to President Donald Trump, what the leadership shake-up could mean for the U.S. military, and the next phase of the escalating conflict with Iran on ‘America Reports.’

Dan Driscoll’s departure as Army secretary has brought new scrutiny to the Trump administration’s sweeping changes at the Pentagon, with Democrats and some Republicans warning that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s approach is creating instability among the military’s top leaders.
But the president replacing senior military leaders is nothing new. Presidents from Abraham Lincoln to Harry Truman have removed commanders when they lost confidence in their leadership, disagreed over strategy or wanted a different direction.
What stands out about the current moment is the pace of the turnover — and the debate over whether the administration’s changes are putting the military on a stronger footing or creating leadership gaps along the way.

North Carolina Republican Sen. Thom Tillis said Hegseth is “creating a leadership void at the top of our military ranks” while ranking Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee Jack Reed of Rhode Island said, “Hegseth is cultivating a culture where dissent is punished, and competence is secondary to personal allegiance.”
Under Trump’s second term, at least 20 military leaders have departed over a combination of clashes, including over Hegseth’s leadership, military strategy, as well as disagreements over DEI, according to a CBS report.
Parnell told Fox News Digital that the Pentagon is “unified behind” Hegseth’s vision.
“Secretary Hegseth has been a transformative leader for the Department of War and, at President Trump’s direction, has ushered in a new era of Peace Through Strength. Standards and merit are back, our arsenal is stronger than ever before, and morale and recruitment across every service are at all-time highs,” added Parnell. “Secretary Hegseth has slashed bureaucracy, unleashed innovation, and delivered for our warfighters every step of the way.”
Presidents dating back to Abraham Lincoln have removed senior military leaders when they believed a change in personnel was necessary — a longstanding feature of civilian control of the military, not a new invention of the current administration.
Then-President Barrack Obama accepted Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel resignation in 2014 after the president concluded that new Pentagon leadership was needed amid disagreements over the administration’s strategy against ISIS, Syria policy and the management of the Defense Department.

Reports at the time indicated the departure was a forced resignation.
Following Hagel’s departure, Obama said the former Defense Secretary had “guided the department through this transition” and that it was “an appropriate time for him to complete his service.” He praised Hagel for helping modernize the military’s strategy and meet Obama’s concern for longterm threats such as China’s rise and Russian aggression.
Harry Truman removed five-star Army general and one of the most prominent U.S. commanders of World War II Douglas MacArthur.
The two men clashed over the Korean War with Truman wanting to avoid spreading conflict to China while MacArthur advocated for the opposite.
One early example came during the Civil War, when Abraham Lincoln removed Gen. George McClellan as commander of the Army of the Potomac after growing frustrated with his cautious approach to fighting Gen. Robert E. Lee. Lincoln later removed Ambrose Burnside after the Union’s defeat at Fredericksburg and replaced him with Joseph Hooker.

Trump named Adam Telle as acting secretary of the Army Thursday, calling him “a Great Patriot, who is respected by all” and saying he would assume the role immediately after Driscoll’s resignation.
Telle previously was the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Civil Works.
Driscoll’s exit comes after reportedly butting heads with Secretary of War Pete Hegseth over concerns with the administration about the Army’s transformation and readiness, including his belief that Hegseth had hindered those efforts.

Vice President Vance said Thursday Driscoll was a “very good friend” of his and was a “great secretary of the Army.”
Vance acknowledged that he agreed with Hegseth, that there is a need to “have a culture shift at the Department of War.”

“Secretary Driscoll has been highly effective in advancing President Trump’s agenda to Make America Strong Again at the Department of the Army by providing outstanding leadership during historic military operations, restoring an emphasis on readiness and lethality, assisting with negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, and more,” White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly said in a statement.
“The United States Army is more powerful than ever thanks to his work alongside the Commander-in-Chief and Secretary of War,” she added.
Trumps entered his first administration with the message of peace through strength seeking to reinvent global perception of America while also modernizing the military such as creating the U.S. Space Force.
During his first term, Trump had two Senate-confirmed defense secretaries, including Jim Mattis, who resigned in 2018 after Trump announced plans to withdraw U.S. troops from Syria, and Mark Esper, whom Trump fired in 2020 after disagreements that included the military’s role in responding to domestic unrest.
“Changes in civilian leadership at the military-service level aren’t unusual. During President Trump’s first administration alone, the Army had two Senate-confirmed secretaries, Mark Esper and Ryan McCarthy, while Robert Speer and McCarthy also served as acting secretaries during leadership transitions,” a senior Pentagon official told Fox News Digital.
“There’s a reason the law is structured this way,” the official added. “The Department of the Army operates under the authority, direction, and control of the Secretary of Defense, and the Secretary of the Army is specifically responsible for ensuring Army policy is consistent with the President’s and Defense Secretary’s national-security policies and that their decisions and instructions are implemented effectively and on time.”
