Pentagon Launches Probe into Document Leaks
WASHINGTON, July 27, 2010 – The Pentagon has launched an investigation to find out how thousands of classified military documents were leaked to the group WikiLeaks.org, a Defense Department spokesman said.
The Army’s Criminal Investigation Division, also known as CID, is heading the investigation, Marine Corps Col. Dave Lapan told Pentagon reporters today.
“An investigation has been initiated, [and] Army CID has the lead,” Lapan said.
Having the Army take charge of the investigation doesn’t suggest that Army personnel are responsible for the leaks, Lapan explained. CID was chosen for its capabilities in such matters, he said.
“[CID] is an investigative agency that has the ability, the capability, to do these types of things,” Lapan said. “There are a number of investigative agencies [within the Pentagon], but the decision was made that Army CID takes the lead.”

Military OneSource Offers Free Tax Filing
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4, 2010 – Defense officials encourage military families to once again take advantage of the free electronic tax filing services offered through Military OneSource.
People can access the H&R Block at Home program by going to Military OneSource at http://www.militaryonesource.com/ and clicking on “Tax Filing Services.”
More than 200,000 servicemembers filed their tax returns through this resource last year, officials said.
“We have such a mobile force, and you have folks dispersed all over the world. It’s a quick link for the family to link up with the [servicemember],” said Tommy T. Thomas, deputy undersecretary of defense for military community and family policy. “It’s a convenience for you to be able to go on that site and file that tax form.”
The program is open to active duty, Guard and Reserve servicemembers, regardless of activation status, as well as spouses, dependent children and family members standing in for a deployed servicemember.
