Air Force Unit Loses Intelligence Mission Amidst Classified Document Leak Investigation

The Air Force's 102nd Intelligence Wing has been ordered to stand down from its intelligence mission as the service's inspector general conducts an investigation into the suspected classified document leaker's unit. The 102nd Intelligence Wing is not currently performing its assigned intelligence mission and has been temporarily reassigned to other organizations within the military branch. Federal authorities arrested Jack Teixeira, 21, last week in connection with the investigation into classified documents that were leaked on the internet. Teixeira, an airman first class with the Massachusetts Air National Guard, has been in uniform since September 2019 and was stationed at the Otis Air National Guard Base on Cape Cod.
