Korbein Schultz

Korbein Schultz, a 24-year-old US Army intelligence analyst, has been arrested on six charges related to a conspiracy in which he allegedly traded military secrets with a co-conspirator in Hong Kong in exchange for cash. Schultz was assigned to the First Battalion of the 506th Infantry Regiment at Fort Campbell, Tennessee, and has been in the service since November 2018. Prosecutors allege that since June 2022, Schultz had been selling sensitive US military information to someone in Hong Kong who worked for a geopolitical consulting firm. He shared information about advanced military helicopters, high-mobility artillery rocket systems, defensive missile systems, and Chinese military tactics. Schultz entered a plea of not guilty on Friday.

I guess he figures that if the country is lost with Biden at the helm, he might as well cash in for himself.

Traitors used to face a firing squad. We need to bring that back.

Fort Campbell, Tennessee

When did they move Ft. Campbell to TN?

I thought Fort Campbell was in Kentucky, not Tennessee.

Beat me by 32 seconds...lol.

Fort Campbell straddles the TN/KY state line. Main Base is in KY.

I know a Nam era Army Intelligence Analyst. It was pounded into their heads that ANY disclosure of ANY sensitive intel would result in severe consequences. Up to and including vanishing of any evidence they ever existed.

It's on the Kentucky Tennessee border. Although the official address reads "Fort Campbell, Kentucky," two-thirds of the installation by area is in Tennessee.

Furthermore, the fort is named after Union Army Brigadier General William Bowen Campbell, the last Whig Governor of Tennessee. So, shouldn't the question actually be, why does it have a Kentucky address? 😋🤣

See my answer post # 29. 🙂

Dude should have been a driver for Feinstein.

Schultz, who possessed a Top Secret security clearance

— If he only had a TS clearance, the damage could not be all that severe.

I guess there's been a lot of "Clearance Inflation" (kinda like grade inflation) since 9/11.

I remember when TS stuff was pretty important...like radar processing algorithms...

[Fido969]

We have way too many secrets in government.

[PIF]

TS is important, but nowhere near as important as anything classified SAP, code word, and above.

[Night Hides Not]

We have way too many secrets in government.

Agree completely, but the lip service paid to protecting national security is appalling: Sandy Berger comes to mind.

As a Platoon Leader back in 77-79, we carried a pamphlet sized document called a CEOI, which had frequencies and call signs to be used during field exercises.

It was classified "confidential", but it might as well been classified beyond NATO Top Secret. If you lost one out in the field, your career was over. Saw it happen to a West Pointer. We secured it to our bodies with a chain or lanyard, but stuff happens out in the field.

Thanks Robert. I was never stationed at Fort Campbell. My duty assignments in 8 years were Fort Bliss (4 years), Hahn AB & Spangdahlem AB in Germany, Fort Benning for Jump School, and a 3 month TDY at a German anti-aircraft training range (Todendorf).

Considering the ‘performance’ of Western Weapons against the Russians, I suspect that he can make the claim that what he did had no detrimental impact on US ‘security’.

[Robert DeLong]

I just provided information that is out there on the internet. 🙂

“, shouldn’t the question actually be, why does it have a Kentucky address?”

I wouldn’t put it past DoD to move the HQ to TN.

Hell, with all the base renaming, my DD Form 214 is invalid.
