US Government Conducts Reviews of Classified Information Policies and Leaks.

The Pentagon has released details of its review of procedures across the Defense Department for using and securing the nation’s secrets following the arrest of an Air National Guardsman in Massachusetts in connection with the leak of classified documents. The Air Force also announced several new actions focused on security protocols servicewide, including a pause in training and a review of each airman’s requirements for accessing classified information. Defense Secretary Lloyd J. Austin III ordered an evaluation of “security programs, policies and procedures” across the U.S. military, with recommendations for safeguarding classified information due in late May.
