Military.com: Air Mobility Command Removes Tail Numbers and Unit Info from Planes, Alarming Watchdogs 

Air Mobility Command has directed its refueling and cargo planes to obscure the majority of identifying information painted on the aircraft, citing national security concerns -- an unusual move that is alarming to government watchdogs. 

James Stewart, a spokesman for Air Mobility Command, told Military.com in an emailed statement that airmen's missions take them around the globe and often involve sensitive movements of cargo -- the main reason behind the change.

We are coming for the invaders meaning we are coming for the Russians.

It should worry the transgressors that Milley is no longer talking about White Privilege and the US military is practicing more opsec.

With Russian spies working under diplomatic cover getting booted, the Russians are going to have to rely on agents they infiltrated across the southern border.

You should totally get freaked out, when Merit Garland is shitcanned and the FBI no longer investigates Roman Catholics, who want the Latin Mass. That is when the Russian without diplomatic cover get rolled up.

When you remove painted insignia it's PolitSec. OpSec is fake painted insignia plus turning off the transponders.

NICE FOR THE RUSSIANS TO DROP IN


"Operations security (OPSEC) is a process that identifies critical information to determine if friendly actions can be observed by enemy intelligence, determines if information obtained by adversaries could be interpreted to be useful to them, and then executes selected measures that eliminate or reduce adversary exploitation of friendly critical information.

In a more general sense, OPSEC is the process of protecting individual pieces of data that could be grouped together to give the bigger picture (called aggregation). OPSEC is the protection of critical information deemed mission-essential from military commanders, senior leaders, management or other decision-making bodies. "

Hiding tail #s makes it harder for the Russians to know which units or material is being sent where or at least makes it harder or delays what they know.


The orcs have turned off their transponders, when they fly to China to pick up war material. The Americans are just following suit playing catch up.

They want to hide the identity of the units and airplanes moving from place to place. Not a bad move in my opinion.

"But despite AMC's stated justification of national security concerns, the new move to obscure some identifying info on planes is both alarming and puzzling to government watchdogs and transparency advocates...the move is making information less available to the public for a seemingly unclear and unjustified reason."

Hey government watchdogs and transparency advocates--stick it up your yammering asses! Crying little zoomer bitches...
