Teixeira <a href=\"https:\/\/www.airforcetimes.com\/news\/your-air-force\/2023\/06\/21\/guardsman-accused-in-pentagon-intel-leak-due-in-federal-court\/\" target=\"_blank\">pleaded not guilty<\/a> in June to federal felony charges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two commanders in the Massachusetts Air National Guard received a temporary suspension in connection with the federal investigation into Teixeira, and the Air Force also revoked their access to classified networks and information, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.airforcetimes.com\/news\/your-air-force\/2023\/04\/27\/two-commanders-suspended-at-base-where-alleged-pentagon-leaker-worked\/\" target=\"_blank\">Air Force Times previously reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An investigation into the leak that is being conducted by the Air Force Inspector General is still in process at this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The recommendations from the DoD review, which were approved by Austin, include deadlines and plans to ensure personnel are included and accounted for in designated security information technology systems and that personnel have a valid non-disclosure agreement on file, according to a June 30 Pentagon memo. Additionally, it proposes plans to establish a new DoD office to monitor insider threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A growing number of military facilities that handle classified information in part have prompted the need for consistent and understandable standards, the defense official told reporters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are no longer just talking about a small number of facilities primarily in intelligence community buildings,\u201d the official said. \u201cI think we have a real opportunity to clarify and make consistent the expectations across the services.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin approved a set of recommendations to improve Pentagon policies and procedures that
