However, the Army began making plans to phase out that unit last month, <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/us-army-ending-drone-battalion-ukraine\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">CBS News has reported<\/a><\/span>, following tension between the officers who supported it and acting Army Chief of Staff Gen. Christopher LaNeve.<\/p>\n<p>Telle will now begin overseeing the nation&#8217;s largest fighting force at a time when the U.S. is still engaged in conflict with Iran and significant Army forces are stationed in the Middle East.<\/p>\n<p>The war has significantly contributed to the U.S. military&#8217;s shortfall in critical weapons like the Patriot and THAAD defense missile interceptor systems, which are operated by the Army. <\/p>\n<p>Democrats and Republicans lamented Driscoll&#8217;s departure, with some blaming Hegseth directly.<\/p>\n<p>Sen. Thom Tillis, a North Carolina Republican who is retiring and sometimes has clashed with Mr. Trump, said on social media that Hegseth &#8220;is creating a leadership void at the top of our military
