A U.S. Army intelligence analyst was arrested this week on
allegations that he sold military secrets to China.
Korbein Schultz, a 24-year-old Army soldier stationed at
Fort Campbell in Kentucky and Tennessee, was charged on
Thursday with conspiracy to obtain and disclose national
defense information, exporting technical data related to
defense articles without a license, conspiracy to export
defense articles without a license, and bribery of a public
official. Schultz is accused of sending critical military
documents, including information on U.S. weapons systems,
to an individual in Hong Kong in exchange for $42,000.
According to the indictment, Schultz’s illegal activity began
in June 2022 and continued until his arrest. One of his most
recent duties was listed as “Classified Document Custodian,”
the indictment noted.
The individual Schultz allegedly worked with is a foreign
national who lives in Hong Kong and works for a geopolitical
consulting firm. Schultz is accused of sending that individual
documents related to the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System
(HIMARS), information on hypersonic equipment, studies on the
future development of U.S. military forces, studies on major
countries like China, and summaries of military drills and
operations.
The DOJ also said that Schultz sent an Air Force Tactics
Techniques and Procedures manual for the HH-60W helicopter,
an Air Force Tactics Techniques and Procedures manual for
the F22-A fighter aircraft, and an Air Force Tactics Techniques
and Procedures manual for intercontinental ballistic missile
to the individual in Hong Kong.
