The Department of Defense (DOD) has launched a new effort to track down the sources of unauthorized disclosures of sensitive and classified information, becoming the second executive branch department to take steps this week to plug information leaks.
“Recent unauthorized disclosures of national security information involving sensitive communications with principals within the Office of the Secretary of Defense demand immediate and thorough investigation,” Pentagon chief of staff Joe Kasper announced in a memo shared across the DOD on March 21.
