Approximately two months after being confirmed as Secretary of the Army in February, then Driscoll focuses on eliminating army waste, promising that the United States will have a “Pentagon and the Army strong and functional.”
Driscoll sat with Jennifer Griffin, National Security correspondent for Fox News, to establish serious objectives in terms of reducing waste in the army.
Since he assumed his new position, Driscoll revealed that the “calcification of the bureaucracy of the Pentagon” was one of the most surprising realities.
“All who knew, who was a politician or soldier or a civilian, had these stories as a son of these crazy decisions and thesis, the expense that was absurd,” Driscoll told the interview in “Special Report” on Friday.

The graduate of Yale’s Law Faculty entered more details about the waste project that “really broke it.”
Driscoll pointed out the recent attempts to build an application that would provide updated details about the hours of operation for the doors and food facilities in the military base. Iraq veteran said that although Army developers found an internal solution of $ 1,400, the Army acquisition team required a solution from the private sector, where the lowest appointment was around $ 40 million.
“That was the one who really broke me and said we have to start doing something,” he told Griffin.

Driscoll also pointed out “Bloat” within the Army Procurement Department as another area to address.
“We have 36,000 being human buying our things. And the problem with this is not just the cost,” he explained. “It is not just a cost savings of getting rid of some of the employees. That is useful. It is real swelling that worsens decisions.”
“When you have 36,000 people making decisions about what we are buying, you only get bath results almost every time,” he reasoned.
Raised to reduce waste, the native of North Carolina praised the Trump administration for creating a “lane for change” within the army. He also pointed to Elon Musk and the government’s efficiency department to make the change “possible.”
