The Air Force’s 102nd Intelligence Wing, which the Air National Guardsman suspected of leaking classified documents was assigned to, has been ordered to stand down from its intelligence mission as the service's inspector general conducts an investigation, the Air Force said Tuesday.
The Air Force also directed each unit to conduct a security-focused stand down in the next 30 days to “reassess our security posture and procedures, validate the need to know for each person’s access, and emphasize to all Airmen and Guardians the responsibility we are entrusted with to safeguard this information and to enforce and improve our security requirements,” Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall and other military leaders said in a memo.
The 102nd Intelligence Wing is not currently performing its assigned intelligence mission and has been temporarily reassigned to other organizations within the military branch, the Air Force said in a statement.

..."That’s that’s really not the issue," he continued. "The issue is — and by the way, he had a top secret clearance — the issue is how you responsibly execute or carry out your duties and how you protect the information."
"All of us have a requirement to do that," he added, "and supervisors have a requirement to make sure that that’s being done."
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have also expressed concerns related to national security after Teixeira’s arrest. A Senate Intelligence Committee aide told NBC News that Congress would be reviewing the clearance system after the recent leaks and the committee would be holding hearings on the topic."...
