Today, the #FBI celebrates a major victory, as we successfully extradite Francisco Javier Roman-Bardales, a senior MS-13 leader and one of our 'Ten Most Wanted' fugitives, from Mexico. This crucial step enhances the safety of communities across America. fbi.gov/wanted/topten/…

A former civilian employee at Fort Bragg has been arrested on charges of providing classified information to a journalist.
According to an August 2025 article by Seth Harp in Politico, Courtney Williams served four years in the Army and was then hired at age 24 by K2 Solutions for a role supporting the Army's SFOD-D Delta Force. She worked as a signature reduction specialist, controlling alias documentation for operators traveling worldwide. Other responsibilities included flying to California to purchase $10,000 worth of new cell phones straight from the manufacturer.

According to the Department of Justice's indictment, At some point in either 2015 or 2016 her security clearance was suspended following an internal investigation, and she left the unit shortly thereafter.

Between January 2022 and August 2025, Williams allegedly communicated information classified as SECRET//NOFORN, specifically tactics, techniques, and procedures used by Delta Force to Seth Harp.
Harp then published his book The Fort Bragg Cartel, which examined a string of deaths and allegations of drug trafficking by members of Army Special Forces and other elite units. In the book and the associated article for Politico, he cites Williams multiple times as a source of information.

The FBI also linked Williams and Harp via phone records including calls, text messages, voicemails and Williams' saved contacts.
Besides information regarding the unit's tactics, techniques, and procedures, Williams also described an environment where sexual harassment and unprofessional behavior were rampant. When Williams filed a formal grievance against a unit officer, her career took an immediate downturn, leading to her eventual exit.
After the article and book were published, Williams sent text messages to Harp which stated in part:
"After quickly reading through everything I will just say I wish you had sent me a copy of what was to be published prior to publishing. Other than a few factual errors, I would definitely have been concerned with the amount of classified information being disclosed."
Williams' current charge against carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison.

I’m truly not trying to be an alarmist but this concerns me . I’ve said many times that I believe our critical infrastructure is highly vulnerable. The fact that 8 people did this for about 3 hours each time, without being stopped, concerns me. #fbi #newyork #brooklyn #criticalinfrastructure #safety

How raw information is converted into actionable intelligence through a continuous cycle of direction, collection, processing, analysis, dissemination, and feedback. Its benefit is that it helps an operative identify where errors, bias, compromise, or delay can weaken an assessment before it affects a mission or decision.

Behavioral Baseline Mapping helps an operative establish the normal rhythm of an environment so meaningful deviations in movement, noise, occupancy, traffic, or activity become easier to detect. Its purpose is to reduce false assumptions and improve situational awareness by comparing new observations against a known pattern before deciding whether a change matters.

This helps counterintelligence officers assess why an insider may betray an organization by showing how money, ideology, coercion, ego, resentment, thrill-seeking, and compromise can overlap and change over time. Its purpose is to improve threat profiling, giving analysts a better basis for detecting escalation, reassessing risk, and anticipating future actions.

This trains covert operatives to recognize how seemingly minor OPSEC failures can combine into a pattern that exposes a cover identity. Its purpose is to improve pre-mission risk assessment and post-incident analysis by showing where investigators or hostile services are most likely to find exploitable seams in an operative’s story.

The purpose of rapport-building is to develop genuine trust gradually, allowing a case officer to understand a source's motivations, concerns, and reliability without forcing the relationship. Its benefit is stronger cooperation, better communication, and a more stable long-term relationship that can produce higher-quality information with less resistance.

The purpose is to train operatives to separate verified observations from interpretations and unconfirmed possibilities, reducing the chance that assumptions contaminate analysis. The benefit is clearer judgment under pressure: you identify evidence gaps faster, ask better follow-up questions, and make decisions with a more accurate picture of the situation.
