Maj. Jason Michael Musgrove, who is based at Fort Gordon, Georgia, has been remanded to the U.S. Marshals service, a news release from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Georgia says. Musgrove, 39, was serving as an integrated threat operations officer at the Army Cyber Joint Headquarters at the time of the incident, the news release says. He also held a Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmentalized Information clearance. The U.S. Attorney's Office has not provided any information about why Musgrove was charged.

Patrick Edwin Gorychka, 37, was arrested on Dec. 4 and he faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison if convicted, a news release from the Southern District of New York says. ## Author David Roza writes scripts about military news for the Task & Purpose YouTube channel, and he also writes articles about military pay, benefits, health care, child care, culture, and other personnel topics on a freelance basis.
