[Pentagon Internal Division Becomes Public: Defense Secretary Clashes with Army Secretary Over Personnel Disputes] BlockBeats reports that on April 20, as the Trump administration pushes forward with military restructuring, the power rift within the U.S. Pentagon continues to widen. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Army Secretary Dan Driscoll have engaged in multiple public clashes over personnel appointments and authority boundaries. It is reported that Dan Driscoll openly supported the dismissed Army Chief of Staff Randy George during a congressional hearing, which was seen as a direct confrontation with Pete Hegseth. Previously, Pete Hegseth had swiftly dismissed Randy George via phone during his vacation, causing shockwaves within the military. The core of the conflict stems from a series of personnel appointment disputes. Sources indicate that Pete Hegseth had requested the removal of certain officers from the promotion list, which Dan Driscoll refused, leading to a rapid deterioration in their relationship. Since then, the internal power struggle within the Pentagon over senior leadership appointments and authority divisions has escalated. Additionally, the Trump administration's prior decision to bypass the Department of Defense and directly involve Dan Driscoll in external affairs coordination is also seen as a significant factor exacerbating tensions between the two. Currently, this power struggle has affected the appointments of multiple senior officers and has raised external concerns about the stability of the U.S. military command structure.
