Air Force Disciplines 15 Over Classified Document Leaks by Low-Level Guardsman

Jack Teixeira, a 21-year-old Massachusetts Air National Guardsman, leaked highly sensitive Pentagon documents online, leading to disciplinary actions against 15 personnel, including the removal of the commander of the 102nd Intelligence Wing.

21-year-old Massachusetts Air National Guardsman Jack Teixeira, who worked in a low-level job maintaining HVAC units and answering phones, was privy to weekly intelligence briefings and leaked highly sensitive Pentagon documents online.
Teixeira was indicted in June on six counts of willful retention and transmission of national military information after illegally obtaining and sharing dozens of classified documents online, including some papers related to Ukrainian troop positions.
Teixeira's colleagues and superiors in the 102nd Intelligence Wing failed to sufficiently supervise troops and alert proper authorities of concerning espionage-like activity, enabling Teixeira to collect and disclose the sensitive information for more than a year completely undetected.
15 personnel from the 102nd Intelligence Wing have been disciplined, ranging from staff sergeant to colonel, for 'dereliction in the performance of duties'.
Col. Sean Riley, the commander of the 102nd Intelligence Wing, received administrative action and was relieved of command for cause.
