I'm proud that our departments are working together closer than we have ever before, committing manpower and new resources to protect our warfighters and their operations to combat the dangers that leaks pose. Effective immediately, I have delegated tasking authority to the War Department's Office of General Counsel, empowering OGC to request and receive all information, records and support across the Department concerning media leak investigations. All department components and personnel will prioritize these requests and any taskings issued by OGC under this authority must receive a full and complete response within 48 hours of issuance.
