Hearings have begun on the appointment of Daniel P. Driscoll for the position of Secretary of the Army. A graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Yale Law School, thirty-nine year old Driscoll spent a deployment in Iraq with the 10th Mountain Division. Since leaving the military he has worked as an executive and investment banker.
If approved Driscoll would be replacing Christine Wormuth, the first female secretary of the army. While there's been some criticism of Driscoll's scope of knowledge of the Army, he seems to have the bulge on his predecessor, who was intent on the electrification of the army in the battle against global warming:
“The Army must adapt across our entire enterprise and purposefully pursue greenhouse gas mitigation strategies to reduce climate risks,” Secretary of the Army Christine Wormuth said in a statement. “If we do not take action across, across our installations, acquisition and logistics and training, our option to mitigate these risks will become more constrained with each passing year.”
She graduated with a bachelor's degree in political science from Williams College in Massachusetts and a master's degree in public policy from the University of Maryland. We're not sure if her level of expertise includes both climate science and armored warfare, one or neither.
