美国国防部通过Task Force Raider等部队秘密参与选举安全工作，名义上旨在防止外国干预，但实际行动已远超防御范围1。该部队总部位于德克萨斯州圣安东尼奥市7700 Potranco Road，发送了超过300万条短信和语音信息到"关注国家"，同时在互联网上发布了56,000条"心理战争"信息1。国防部还启动了一个1000万美元的"正义奖励"项目1。这些活动包括删除社交媒体帖子、创建虚假身份进行舆论操纵，违反了军方长期遵守的不干涉选举的原则1。
军事官员对这一行动的范围扩大表示担忧1。一名高级军事情报官员表示："整个选举安全恐慌是为了满足特朗普总统和安抚民主党人"1。一名退役高级军事官员也指出："影响影响者？这是在制造我不习惯的先例"1。91st网络作战中队拥有冻结通信的能力，曾在阿富汗完善了"蜂窝覆盖停电"技术1。Pete Hegseth最近向圣安东尼奥网络部队发出了"不失败"任务指令1。与此同时，参议员Adam Schiff和Alex Padilla向社交媒体公司发信警告，其对"2026年中期选举期间的虚假信息和不实信息"处理不足1。
The U.S. Department of Defense has launched secretive election security operations involving systematic control of online speech, according to reporting on military activities. Task Force Raider, headquartered at 7700 Potranco Road in San Antonio, Texas, has conducted operations that extend far beyond foreign interference prevention into domestic information control 1. The task force has distributed over 3 million text messages and voice communications to "key audiences" and posted 56,000 psychological operations (PSYOPS) messages to the internet 1. Additionally, a $10 million "Justice Rewards" program was initiated as part of these efforts 1.
Military cyber units have been granted expansive capabilities in this framework. The 91st Cyber Operations Squadron, known as "Demon Hunters," possesses the ability to freeze communications and previously refined "cellular coverage blackout" techniques during operations in Afghanistan 1. These activities represent a significant departure from the longstanding principle of military non-interference in domestic elections. A senior military intelligence official stated that "the whole election security panic is to satisfy President Trump and appease Democrats" 1. Meanwhile, a retired senior military officer expressed concern about the precedent, saying "influencing influencers? This is creating a precedent I'm not comfortable with" 1.
Recent directives have intensified these operations. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth recently issued a "no-fail" mission order to the San Antonio cyber force 1. Military officials have expressed growing unease about the expanding scope of these activities, acknowledging that operations have transcended defensive measures against foreign influence to encompass the regulation and control of legitimate American speech. Following the 2020 election, the Department of Defense activated an election security "enclave" to support "the most sensitive activities" 1.
