Facebook OPSEC violation causes delayed redeployment

RAMSTEIN AB, Germany — A massive troop rotation back to Ramstein Air Base has been delayed because of a social media OPSEC violation, according to sources in US European Command.

According to several commanders, enlisted supervisors, and family members at bases throughout EUCOM, their troops will not be returning to home-station as expected because someone's spouse posted sensitive information on Facebook.

"OMG i cant believe it! my bae is leaving al udeid airbase tomorrow @ 0800! i'll be waiting for you when you fly into ramstien [sic], my love," said the post by Patricia, whose last name is being withheld to protect the safety of the blonde, 21-year-old senior airman who works at Ramstein's 86th Dental Squadron.
