Who is the Secretary of the Army?

• A. Gates
• B. Austin
• C. Driscoll
• D. Jackson

Answer: (C)

The Secretary of the Army is the civilian head of the Department of the Army, responsible for the overall administration, manpower, training, equipping, and readiness of the Army, and for carrying out policy within the Department of Defense. This position is filled by a presidential appointment and must be confirmed by the Senate.

In this context, the name listed as the Secretary of the Army is Driscoll, which matches the material’s framing for this question. The other names have been associated with the Department of Defense in different top roles (for example, as Secretary of Defense) rather than the Army’s civilian leadership.
