The Air Force on Tuesday stripped a Massachusetts Air National Guard unit of its intelligence mission after a lone airman there was accused of leaking potentially hundreds of classified military documents, including material about the state of Ukraine’s ongoing war against Russia and U.S. assessments of Taiwan’s ability to withstand an attack by China.
also ordered the service’s inspector general to investigate “overall compliance with policy, procedures, and standards” at the 102nd Intelligence Wing, based in Cape Cod.
Airman 1st Class Jack Teixeira, 21, had been assigned to the unit when he was arrested Thursday and charged with unauthorized removal and retention of classified material. He is expected to make another appearance on Wednesday in federal court in Boston.
