The U.S. Army Special Operations Command (USASOC) is warning retired senior officers who served in Iraq or Syria of a possible terror threat against them based in Florida, according to a memo issued by the USAOC and the U.S. Army Military Police reviewed by Just the News.
A “duty to warn” notification was also sent to active-duty special operators as an extra precaution, though current intelligence does not indicate the threat extends to them, the memo states.
“This message is to inform you of a recent ‘Duty to Warn’ notification regarding a potential terrorist threat targeting retired senior officials who previously served in the Department of Defense with roles in the Syria/Iraq theater,” a July 17 notification stated. “The current geographic focus of this threat is Florida.”
“While this threat does not directly target active duty USASOC personnel, we are issuing this notice to reinforce the importance of vigilance and situational awareness,” it added. “We encourage all personnel to remain alert to their surroundings, both on and off post, and to report any suspicious activity to appropriate authorities.
Army officials declined to identify the actors behind the threat or more information about their targets.
