Driscoll: Soldiers ‘Will Always Be My Mission’

In his first message to the force, Army Secretary Dan Driscoll promised to renew public trust in the Army, pump up the industrial base and eliminate “distractions” in favor of training hard for combat.
Driscoll, who was confirmed by the Senate on Feb. 25 and sworn in that afternoon as the 26th secretary of the Army, wrote in his Feb. 27 letter that, “The American Soldier will always be my mission, and I will be the Soldier’s Secretary of the Army,” reiterating a statement he made during his confirmation hearing.
