五角大廈撤除機密文件以回應華郵報導

Quick Look

華盛頓郵報報導多位高階將領對伊朗戰事表達擔憂後,五角大廈將數十年機密文件從SIPRNet系統中移除。文件涉及國防部長命令簿,記錄軍艦與武器系統位置,供將領表達不贊同意見。發言人未否認變動,但強調作戰決策透過適當安全管道進行。此舉可能限制緊急軍事規劃的資訊存取。

Why It Matters

川普政府上任後,已採取多項防堵媒體洩密的措施,包括測謊、發出傳票及搜索記者住宅。華郵先前報導多位高階將領警告赫格塞斯,長期對伊朗採取大規模軍事行動是不可持續的,且恐削弱他們應對其他地區威脅的能力。

在華盛頓郵報披露多位高階將領對伊朗戰事表達擔憂的報導後,五角大廈已將數十年的機密文件,從國防官員與美軍常用的機密電腦系統中撤除。

華盛頓郵報3日引述3名知情人士獨家報導,與「國防部長命令簿」(SDOB)相關的文件,已從「機密網際網路協定路由網」(SIPRNet)的內部入口網站上遭到移除。由於涉及機密系統,這些人士要求匿名。

目前尚不清楚美方人員是否還能透過其他管道取得這些文件,也不清楚存取權限的縮減將如何使軍事計畫變得更加複雜。SIPRNet儲存標記為「機密」(secret)的資訊,而「最高機密」(top-secret)資訊則存放在機密等級更高、存取人數更少的網路中。

五角大廈發言人帕內爾(Sean Parnell)2日拒絕討論這項變動,但並未否認此事。

帕內爾在聲明中表示:「正如我們先前所言,戰爭部不會公開討論內部作戰的審議流程,包括戰爭部長命令簿(SWOB)的管理、處理或存取協議。」聲明使用川普政府為國防部與國防部長赫格塞斯(Pete Hegseth)所偏好的稱呼。

帕內爾的聲明還說:「軍方人員的成功是赫格塞斯部長的首要任務,正因如此,有關作戰流程、部隊部署與審議人事的決策,皆透過適當的安全管道進行管理,以確保任務安全與作戰完整性。」

在此項變動之前,川普政府已採取多項措施來防堵對媒體的洩密,包括對部分人員實施測謊、對記者發出傳票,甚至搜索一名華郵記者的住家,並查扣其電子設備。

SDOB詳細記錄美國軍艦、軍事單位、武器系統及其他資源的位置與可用性,並為高階將領提供一個論壇。透過該論壇,他們在執行命令的同時,可表達對總統川普與赫格塞斯的不贊同意見。他們透過標註「不贊同」(non-concurring)來達到此目的,並藉此程序說明他們可能持有的保留意見,或是這些命令對其他軍事計畫的負面影響。

SDOB每月發布兩次。華郵日前曾報導,多位高階將領警告赫格塞斯,長期對伊朗採取大規模軍事行動是不可持續的,且恐削弱他們應對其他地區威脅的能力後,SDOB便成為激烈討論的焦點。熟悉該文件的人士表示,將領們正是透過在SDOB中表達「不贊同」來提出警告。

熟悉相關討論的人士透露,提出保留意見並標註「不贊同」的將領,包括歐洲司令部司令格林克維奇(Alexus Grynkewich)上將、南方司令部司令杜諾文(Francis Donovan)上將、太平洋司令部司令帕帕羅(Samuel Paparo)上將,以及海軍作戰部長柯德爾(Daryl Caudle)上將。

知情人士表示,空軍參謀長維巴赫(Kenneth S. Wilsbach)上將與陸軍代理參謀長拉內夫(Christopher LaNeve)上將,雖然「贊同」赫格塞斯延長部分部隊部署時間的計畫,但兩人都強調,此舉將伴隨重大風險。

近幾個月來,美國高階官員對伊朗戰爭的長期影響日益感到擔憂。川普最初聲稱戰事只需幾週,但如今已進入第7個月。這些擔憂包括「愛國者」飛彈攔截器與「戰斧」巡弋飛彈等日益稀缺的彈藥遭到大量消耗,以及美國海軍在執行川普對伊朗實施的海上封鎖時,所承受的龐大壓力。

一名前國防部官員表示,清除SDOB或將其移至機密等級更高的系統,將「大幅減少能直接存取該文件的人數」,這可能會限制緊急的軍事規劃。指揮官及其幕僚仰賴存取SDOB來進行具時效性的決策與通報,例如將飛機與武器從一個司令部調往另一個司令部,需要緊急的後勤工作來重新規劃裝備與資源的路線。限制對相關資訊的存取權限,將使這個過程變得更緩慢且更困難。

What to Watch

AI outlook — possibilities, not facts

  • 五角大廈將進一步檢討機密資訊的存取權限,以防止未來類似洩密事件。

    Likely · Within weeks

  • 高階將領將尋求替代管道表達對伊朗戰事的擔憂,例如透過退休後發表公開言論或向國會閉門作證。

    Possible · Within months

Open Questions

  • 美方人員是否仍能透過其他管道取得這些機密文件?
  • 存取權限的縮減將如何具體影響軍事計畫的執行效率?
  • 此舉是否將導致更多將領透過其他方式表達異議?
