US Army Warns Retired Special Ops Florida Terror Threat

The U.S. Army Special Operations Command has issued a credible warning about a possible terrorist threat targeting retired senior military personnel who served in Iraq and Syria and currently reside in Florida. The alert, confirmed by Col. Allie Scott and signed by Provost Marshal Col. Mark Katz, emphasizes heightened vigilance and situational awareness but does not specify the nature of the threat or the terrorist group involved. While active-duty personnel are not directly targeted, the command urges all service members and retirees in Florida to report suspicious activity to authorities. The warning reflects ongoing concerns over retaliation against special operations forces involved in counterterrorism missions, particularly those related to ISIS and Al Qaeda. Such “duty to warn” notifications are routinely issued when credible threats arise, even though detailed information is often withheld to protect individuals and their families. Florida, home to several U.S. Special Operations and military command headquarters, remains a focal point for these security precautions.
