?? JUST IN: A U.S. Army Special Operations Command veteran, Courtney Williams, has been arrested and federally charged with leaking classified national defense information.

She allegedly provided sensitive details, including classified Delta Force tactics and procedures, to a journalist for a 2025 book on Fort Bragg.

Williams and the journalist exchanged texts in which Williams said she was “concerned about the amount of classified information being disclosed.”

Per Kagan Dunlap on Tiktok

She was a former employee (2010–2016) of a Special Military Unit (SMU) of the Army and held a Top Secret / Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI) clearance and had daily access to highly sensitive classified material supporting warfighters.
While the release doesn't explicitly say "U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM)" or name a specific unit like Delta Force or JSOC, many Army SMUs operate under or in direct support of SOCOM.

Between 2022 and 2025, she allegedly communicated extensively with a journalist (over 10 hours of calls and 180+ text messages). The journalist was working on an article and book about the SMU. Williams is accused of disclosing classified national defense information, including tradecraft, tactics, techniques, and procedures. Some of this appeared in the published book/article, where she was named as a source.
She also allegedly made unauthorized disclosures on social media. In messages, she reportedly expressed awareness of the risks, mentioning the Espionage Act and the possibility of arrest or "jail for life."

Wow she's a really dumb activist. Well at least she won't be free anymore. I know the first part is repeated but it's crazy to see. That's the level I'm cleared for but I never talk or even vaguely speak about anything I do to my detriment like in job seeking I can't actually write or talk about some cool things I did.

For starters, they have the standard HQ/support elements. Not everyone is a shooter.

Secondly, some operational elements within the SMUs employ women. They're not running around as assaulters in the sabre squadrons, but there is specialized support work that lends itself nicely to females.

She was an insider and decided to talk too damn much. Now she has to pay the price.

Remember the lawyer-author who "doxed" Delta after the Maduro raid? When was his book in Fort Bragg published?

Yeah I’ll hold off judgement on this one. There’s a lot of folks in that community that say it’s because her book blew the lid off a lot of illegal shite happening on a certain ODA.

If her accusations are true there’s big trouble brewing.

1) Women should not EVER be allowed in a combat arms MOS.
2) Women should not be allowed anywhere near the front lines
3) Women should not be entrusted with roles related to combat activities, planning, tactics, strategy, or logistics


Prior to the modern era of computer communications, there were four ways to guarantee fast dissemination of information. They were:
Telegraph
Telephone
Television
Tell-a-woman

The fourth method listed above has only gotten faster with the advent of emails and social media.

As should the journalist / book author

Leaking classified information is not “free speech”. It’s ridiculous we allow them to dump out information that hurts our national security so that they can make money on clicks and hide behind “journalistic integrity”
