Gen. Pat Ryder, a Pentagon spokesman, declined to confirm Teixeira\u2019s identity, including whether he was in a federal status and thus within the Defense Department\u2019s chain of command at any point during this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Asked how such a junior service member would have access to high-level documents, including intelligence on the war in Ukraine, Ryder said that even very young troops are given security clearances in some cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/militarytimes\/news\/your-military\/2023\/04\/13\/us-ukraine-say-many-war-secrets-safe-from-intel-leaks\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23102620714652.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">US, Ukraine say many war secrets safe from intel leaks<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Ukraine\u2019s leaders say they don\u2019t see a major U.S. intelligence leak as gravely damaging future offensives.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe entrust our members with a lot of responsibility at a very early age,\u201d he said. \u201cSo you receive training and you will receive an understanding of the rules and requirements that come along with those responsibilities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That training includes social media conduct and operational security policies, which Ryder said the leaker certainly knew when those documents were photographed and uploaded to a Discord server called Thug Shaker Central.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis was a deliberate criminal act, a violation of those guidelines,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the wake of the leaks\u2019 discovery, the Pentagon has tamped down on access to such classified information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe continue to review a variety of factors as it relates to safeguarding classified materials,\u201d Ryder said. \u201cThis includes examining and updating distribution lists, assessing how and where intelligence products are shared, and a variety of other steps.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Defense Department leadership sent a memo to the force Wednesday <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/pentagon-congress\/2023\/04\/13\/deputy-defense-secretary-to-troops-dont-share-classified-information\/\" target=\"_blank\">reminding troops of their responsibilities in handling classified information<\/a>. The one-page memo, signed by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defense.gov\/About\/Biographies\/Biography\/Article\/2523096\/dr-kathleen-h-hicks\/\">Deputy Defense Secretary Kathleen Hicks<\/a> and obtained by Military Times, is addressed to senior Pentagon leadership, combatant command heads and \u201cdefense agency and DOD field activity directors.\u201d Pentagon press officials confirmed the memo\u2019s authenticity, and multiple servicemembers told Military Times they had received it in their inboxes this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Senate Armed Services Committee chairman called for the leaker to be punished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cLeaking this trove of classified information endangered our military and intelligence professionals and undermined the security of our allies and partners,\u201d Sen. Jack Reed, D-RI, said in a statement Thursday. \u201cAnyone with a security clearance who betrays their country by purposefully mishandling classified documents or disclosing classified materials must be held accountable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Teixeira was known as \u201cOG\u201d and the de facto leader of the Discord server, a group of about two dozen young men and teenage boys which was focused on a \u201ctheir mutual love of guns, military gear and God,\u201d a member of the channel told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/national-security\/2023\/04\/12\/discord-leaked-documents\/\" target=\"_blank\">The Washington Post, where they swapped racist memes <\/a>and watched movies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Members said he posted hundreds of messages on a regular basis, sometimes transcribing classified documents and posting them to the server, under the handle jackthedripper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHe wanted to \u2018keep us in the loop,\u2019 the member said, and seemed to think that his insider knowledge would offer the others protection from the troubled world around them,\u201d the Post reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Discord told the outlet that they are cooperating with law enforcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>Geoff Ziezulewicz contributed to this report.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Airman 1st Class Jack Teixeira is
