Army general left classified maps of Ukraine war on train, watchdog finds

Major General Antonio Aguto left classified maps related to the Ukraine war on a train, according to a Defense Department inspector general investigation that also found separate incidents of improper handling of classified documents. The watchdog's report additionally determined that Aguto engaged in "overindulgence of alcohol," raising concerns about judgment and security protocols at senior military leadership levels. The findings underscore lapses in how classified national security information is managed by high-ranking defense officials with access to sensitive intelligence about ongoing conflicts. The incident occurred against a backdrop of heightened scrutiny over document security practices within the Pentagon, particularly regarding material related to U.S. military operations abroad.
