The departure of Dan Driscoll, who at one time was viewed as a potential replacement for the defense secretary, marks the latest shake-up at the Pentagon.

Gen. Randy George appeared troubled by the encounter with Gen. Chris LaNeve, the Army’s No. 2 officer now favored for the service’s top job, people familiar with the matter told The Post.

The White House already has a nuclear-proof facility buried deep underground and built in secret after 9/11.

The president wants the new fleet of aircraft carriers to more resemble those from World War II. Such a change could cost billions.

The aircraft, which cost up to $50 million each, have seen heavy use around the Strait of Hormuz — but they are relatively easy targets for Iran and its proxies.

The vote marks the first test of Republican support for the conflict since President Donald Trump resumed military strikes against Tehran this month.

The request mostly includes money for the Pentagon, with $67 billion going toward replenishing the military’s stocks of munitions and the cost of sending so many forces to the Middle East.

Frustrated lawmakers are increasing pressure on the defense secretary to get answers they’ve sought for months.
