Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is considering appointing his chief spokesperson, Sean Parnell, to succeed Army Secretary Dan Driscoll, who is expected to exit the Pentagon in the coming months. Two sources familiar with the matter told The Hill that Parnell, who also serves as one of Hegseth’s senior advisers, has privately expressed interest in the role.

The potential transition comes as Driscoll prepares to step down, prompting Hegseth to evaluate internal candidates for the Army Secretary position.
