[^2]\n\nDefense Secretary Pete Hegseth dismissed Army Chief of Staff Randy George in April 2026 without explanation, despite criticism from Republicans. [^3]\n\nFollowing the dismissal of Army Chief of Staff Randy George in April 2026, the US Army will lack Senate-confirmed leadership after Driscoll's departure. [^4]\n\nWhite House spokesperson Anna Kelly said on 2026-08-31 that Driscoll showed excellent leadership in historic military operations and played an effective role in advancing Trump's agenda. [^5]\n\nCIA Director John Ratcliffe arrived in Moscow on August 25 aboard a US military cargo plane, though the Kremlin stated he did not meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin. [^6]\n\nPresident Donald Trump previously described the trip as semi-routine and suggested Ukraine was among the topics on the table, adding that Washington would like to see the war in Ukraine end.
