The Pentagon is secretly establishing a new type of technology disruption organization “TSO”
PANews October 22 According to Politico, the Pentagon has been quietly establishing an elite new technology disruption organization for months—the Technology Support Office (TSO), intended to secretly interfere with and disrupt foreign technology projects deemed threats to U.S. military superiority. Information about the organization is nearly impossible to find on the Pentagon website. Since April the organization was established this year, U.S. Defense Secretary Hegseth and other senior Pentagon officials have not publicly mentioned it. For a department eager to announce major reforms to modernize the military or adopt tougher new policies toward foreign adversaries, this silence is particularly striking.
PANews said the information came from a Politico report.
