And?

 

Just in case you missed it?

"The 102nd Intelligence Wing is not performing its assigned intelligence mission, 

and it has been temporarily reassigned to other organizations within the military branch, 

the Air Force said in a statement.'

"Teixeira's arrest has raised questions about why a low-level airman had expansive access to classified documents that he is alleged to have shared with a close-knit online community of fellow gamers."

The above leaves out a whole bunch BTW:

2023 Pentagon document leaks

"In April 2023, two sets of classified documents of the United States began circulating on Twitter, Telegram, and 4chan."

(Not discord like they are trying to make it seem.)

The documents are primarily related to the Russo-Ukrainian War, but also included foreign intelligence assessments concerning nations including North Korea, China, Iran, and the United Arab Emirates. Jack Teixeira, an airman first class of the Massachusetts Air National Guard, allegedly photographed printouts of the documents at his parents' home in Dighton, Massachusetts and posted them to the instant messaging platform Discord on a server named "Thug Shaker Central".

(That was after they were already on Twitter, Telegram and 4chan.)

 "A subset of documents were shared to Discord servers for a YouTuber and the sandbox video game Minecraft in late February and early March. In April, a 4chan user posted several documents on the website's political imageboard /pol/. The documents were then spread throughout pro-Russian Telegram channels; at least one image was altered to show more Ukrainian casualties than Russian casualties."

(Why was there only one image altered in the whole mess?

And why was it that the only image altered?

Was about the casualty figures in the Ukraine war?

Hum?

WHY WAS THAT EXACTLY?

Whos purpose is being served here?)

"Teixeira was reported to have used Discord, an online forum originally used as a chat platform by video game enthusiasts, to share the leaked information with his small community of online friends to have taken photos of paper documents he may have smuggled out of a secure facility."

(yeah...nobody knew, saw etc...Okay...sure

Solar Winds yall, just sayin.)

But the point I wanna drive home here is this:

102nd Intelligence Wing

( Copied  over from the official website of the United States government BTW)

102nd Intelligence Wing

102nd Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Group

 

Vision Statement:

To be recognized as the Air National Guard’s premier Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Group, universally recognized and respected for performance and reputation.

Mission Statement:

The mission of the Distributed Ground Station-MA is to provide world-class, operationally integrated, multi-domain intelligence to warfighters, supported leaders and combatant commanders around the world.

Federal Mission:

When federally activated, DGS-MA provides 24/7/365 near-real-time exploitation and analysis of U-2 Dragon Lady & RQ-4 Global Hawk High Altitude ISR missions and MQ-9 Reaper Medium Altitude missions. One hundred percent of DGS-MA’s Medium Altitude crews exploiting Full Motion Video (FMV) sensors are certified to execute both Special Operations Forces (SOF) and Sensor Tasking Authority (STA) missions. DGS-MA also provides Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) production and analysis in support of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) under an “operations incidental to training” construct. 

State Mission:

The 102 ISRG is one of 12 ANG Unclassified Processing, Analysis, & Dissemination (U-PAD) sites, supporting the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and surrounding states with Title 32 personnel during domestic operations (DOMOPs) with Information Awareness and Assessment (IAA) capabilities, typically in response to natural disasters.

Force Structure or Organization:

The 102 ISRG is a subordinate unit of the 102nd Intelligence Wing (ACC), Otis ANGB, Mass. And is the parent organization for the 101st Intelligence Squadron, 102nd Intelligence Support Squadron and the 102nd Operations Support Squadron.  Operationally, DGS-MA falls under the 480th Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Wing located at Langley Air Force Base, Virginia. The Distributed Ground Station is comprised of more than 370 assigned military and civilian Airmen and contractors.

Functions and Capabilities

The Air Force Distributed Common Ground System (DCGS) is the Air Force's primary intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance planning and direction, collection, processing and exploitation, analysis and dissemination weapon system.  The DCGS is currently composed of regionally aligned, globally networked sites. The sites have varying levels of capability and capacity to support the intelligence needs of the warfighter. One of these components is Digital Ground Station-Massachusetts. DGS-MA, under the control of the 102nd Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Group, is a multi-intelligence processing, exploitation and dissemination node within AF DCGS, providing 24/7 capacities. In addition, DGS-MA operates a high-altitude capacity providing U-2 and RQ-4 missions and also provides defense support to civilian authorities such as the Federal and Massachusetts Emergency Management Agencies (FEMA and MEMA) with our UPAD mission during national and regional emergencies and domestic operations.

Background

Airmen of the 102 ISRG have provided world-class analysis, exploitation, and intelligence products, both deployed and from home station, since initial operating capability in the summer of 2009. With high retention and reenlistment rates, the 102 ISRG maintains a cadre of combat-experienced intelligence operators, instructors, evaluators, communications maintenance, and support personnel poised to support federal tasking at a moment’s notice. 

Last week they were a critical part of our military and that's why the guy had the clearances he did? Thats what they told you anyway...

And Now?

Now all the above can just be:

Air Force halts intelligence mission of classified leak suspect's unit

"The 102nd Intelligence Wing is not performing its assigned intelligence mission, and it has been temporarily reassigned to other organizations within the military branch, the Air Force said in a statement."

Just that easy?

Just that quick?

Fun fact:

"MQ-9 Reaper Medium Altitude missions"?

Is what was relaying the real time information about Russian positions to Ukrainians forces.

Now all the sudden right before things are getting ready to heat up again?

Ukrainians aren't gonna have that capability any more.

I wonder why?

We re being blackmailed and doing what tHe Russians want. because to not do so?

 Would result in:

"Whoever, would try to stop us, and furthermore, create threats to our country, our people, should know that Russia's response will be immediate and lead you to such consequences as you have never faced in your history. We are ready for any situation that arises. All necessary decisions in this regard have been made. I hope that I will be heard."

Some of us knew what he meant when he said it.
