Equipment equipment
A string of Previously, unknown failures in the Armories National Guard last fall are the last case in a growing number of security violations in military facilities across the United States and raises new concerns about US armor vulnerability against robbery and influence.
A confidential note from the Tennessee Fusion Center examined with wired four defeats in the Tennessee’s National Guard armor within a seven -week length. In an accident, thieves are made from other equipment with night vision glasses, laser target findings and thermal weapons. In others, the invaders violated the fences, disrupted the alarm, and accessed the rooms discovered in cases after locking.
At least it seems that at least some interruptions refer to their potential help. For example, in covington, Tennessee shows evidence that invaders may already recognize the location of the secure key control box. On other sites, it was attempted to bypass the warning and entry points.
This note, which was intended solely for the use of law enforcement, does not indicate that every weapon is stolen. However, it is quoted by a state anti -terrorism coordinator: “These events are not only because of the sensitivity of stolen in nature but also because of their own knowledge indicators for successful violations and successful theft.”
The document, first obtained by the asset of the People’s Non -Profit Supervisory Group, was shared exclusively with Wired.
These failures remain under active investigations and have attracted the attention of the Pentagon’s office as a prominent US military law enforcement official. A senior police source informed a wire on Tuesday that the Federal Research Office was a leading investigation. FBI refused to confirm.
“FBI policy prohibits the confirmation or denial of research unless in rare conditions when advertising helps investigate research, such as missing child search or trying to identify a bank robber,” says Elizabeth Clement Web, a FBI public affairs officer. “The subject you ask about it does not meet this exception, so the comment is not appropriate.”
The Pentagon referred the questions to the National Guard. The guard did not respond to the comment’s request.
It is initially considered as isolated events, the FBI and the Department of Defense discusses what is called “internal violent extremism” agents, or Dve, and is about programs to attack armored armor for weapons and equipment, and to suspicious organized analysts. Internal intelligence has constantly banned members of violent militias and racial -motivated extremists who ignore soft goals.
“Although Dve has previously stolen some low -level military equipment, FBI has not specified any sample in which a Dve has successfully attacked an armored armor to steal heavy military equipment,” the note reads. “FBI and DOD reinforce their connection with local armor and military facilities to bypass such a raid to create gaps in the report on current conspiracies to exploit armored vulnerabilities and increase opportunities to identify and prevent theft of military equipment.”
Between 2020 and 2024, the note says at least four FBI issues on attacking military facilities for heavy weapons, including firearms and machine guns. Had confirmed three military backgrounds. One member of the former guardian – identified the specific armor in which he had served, describing how to exploit his security. It is unclear whether the charges have been raised.
The extremist patch mentioned by this document repeats these ambitions. In early 2024, a telegram -related telegram user evaluated armored vulnerabilities with the help of caring firefighters and sought military hire or law enforcement for internal information. In another case, an active tank tank commander claimed that he could change an armored armor to deliver weapons, while a former Air Force contractor was talking about attacking a guard center to seize mortars and land security.
