“Duty to Warn” Issued By USASOC for Florida’s Former and Current Special Ops Veterans...

-

In a rare and urgent advisory, U.S. Army Special Operations Command (USASOC) has notified retired “senior officials” who served in Syria and Iraq and now reside in Florida of a credible terrorist threat. 

The alert—known within the military as a “Duty to Warn” notification—was signed by USASOC Provost Marshal Col. Mark A. Katz and first reported by The New York Times before being confirmed by USASOC spokesperson Lt. Col. Allie Scott on Friday. 

Such bulletins are circulated internally whenever intelligence indicates a potential danger to military personnel or veterans.

The memo specifically targets retired Defense Department officials with special operations backgrounds, emphasizing that while active-duty soldiers are not the focus, the safety of all USASOC personnel and retirees is paramount. 

Lt. Col. Scott characterized the intelligence as “credible,” telling Task & Purpose, “We issued that warning, as we do with all credible threats, we issued those to our formations because, of course, the security and safety of all our personnel is important”. 

The advisory also urged current service members to share the notification with any retired special operators they know who reside in Florida.

Florida’s strategic significance for U.S. special operations cannot be overstated. 

MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa houses both U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM) and U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), while nearby Miami hosts the U.S. Southern Command headquarters. 

These installations form the nerve center for operations across multiple theaters, including the Middle East, making Florida home to a large community of active-duty and retired special operators. 

That concentration likely underpins the focus of the “Duty to Warn” alert on the Sunshine State.

Since 2014, the United States has led a multinational coalition against the Islamic State (ISIS) in Iraq and Syria, with special operations forces playing a central role in high-stakes raids to capture or kill ISIS leaders. 

In March, U.S. military officials announced the killing of ISIS’s second-in-command in western Iraq, underlining the ongoing threat posed by the group despite its territorial defeat. 

Although the recent warning did not specify which terrorist organization or cell might be plotting an attack, the historical link between retired special ops veterans and past operations against ISIS could make them symbolic targets for retaliation.

The “Duty to Warn” notification, issued Thursday, refrained from detailing the precise nature of the threat or the intelligence that prompted it. 

“I would say that there was information that was credible enough to provide this level of reporting to our formation,” Lt. Col. Scott said, without elaborating further. 

Recipients were simply instructed to “remain vigilant,” report any suspicious activities to local law enforcement or military authorities, and bolster personal security measures, such as enhancing home alarm systems and practicing heightened situational awareness.

USASOC’s call to action underscores a broader imperative: the duty of care owed to those who have risked their lives in service of the nation. 

While active-duty service members regularly receive threat briefings, extending this protocol to retirees highlights both the value of their past contributions and the enduring risks they may face. 

The command’s advisory reflects a commitment to safeguarding veterans, whose firsthand combat experience and deep institutional knowledge remain assets—but also potential vulnerabilities—in the ongoing struggle against global terrorism.

GOD BLESS CURRENT AND FORMER VETERANS AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!

  MY MOST IMPORTANT STORY  Dozens of Forgotten Little Girls Held at Male Juvenile Prison for Over a Year! Welcome to the Sunshine State, where the palm trees sway, the alligators lurk, and the legislative process makes Kafka look like a life coach!  Florida House Bill HB21 . Not just a compensation bill but possibly a 20 million dollar "Stay out of Jail Free" card for some folks. This is a bill that does some good—but also trips over its own shoelaces, falls down a staircase, and lands on a historical oversight so big, it might as well have its own zip code! An oversight that overlooks what I consider to be its most vulnerable victims! The Setup: Justice with a Catch HB21 was enacted on July 1, 2024 to compensate victims of abuse from two male juvenile detention facilities located in Florida, Dozier and Okeechobee.  It says, “Hey, survivors of abuse between 1940 and 1975, here’s some compensation for the horrific things you endured!” Sounds good, right? Like a...

Here's A New HOA Rule Dictating What You Can Do Inside Your Home

HOA Overreach: When Your Own Home Isn’t Really Your Own The joys of homeownership—the American dream!  That magical place where you can paint the walls any color you like, blast your music (within reason), and enjoy the simple pleasure of—wait, never mind..... Turns out, your HOA might have something to say about what you do inside your own four walls. Case in point: A longtime homeowner, who has peacefully lived in his residence for 25 years, was blindsided when his HOA suddenly banned smoking inside individual homes.  That’s right—after a quarter-century of no issues, he was informed that lighting up indoors was no longer an option.  The new rule, passed at the HOA’s annual meeting by a majority vote, now restricts smoking to a designated outdoor area. Now, while some might see this as a health-conscious decision, the homeowner—whose wife is a smoker—sees it as an unfair overreach.  In a letter to a local publication, he expressed frustration, writing, “I’ve live...

Postal Police Stuck Behind ‘Keep Out’ Signs While Mailmen Face Muggers: You Can’t Make This Stuff Up!!

As crime against letter carriers surges, one would think that America’s armed, uniformed Postal Police might be hitting the streets to protect our mail.  Instead, they’re still glued to their post office entrances like sentries guarding Fort Frownmore.  Why?  Because since 2020, the Postmaster General decreed they must “protect postal property” only—meaning, they currently serve as glorified lobby bouncers rather than actual roaming guardians of the mailstream. “ They’re robbing letter carriers, they’re sticking a gun in a letter carrier’s face and they’re demanding arrow keys, ” laments Frank Albergo , president of the National Postal Police Union and a Postal Police Officer himself.  An "arrow key" in the context of the Post Office is a specialized, universal key that postal workers use to access various locked mail receptacles, including collection boxes, apartment mailboxes, and cluster boxes. Albergo isn’t exaggerating—research shows over 100 physical assaul...
