  26. U.S. Tactical Evidence Report SULTANS WRATH MSOT 8313 01-25 — Recovered Insurgent Materiel Classification: FOR OPERATIONAL USE ONLY Date: 27th June, 2025 Unit: 3d MRB, S-2 Intelligence, EOD/Forensic Team Location: AO SULTANS WRATH 01-15, MSOT 8313. Items Secured: MANPADS: 2x Igla-series type tubes (operational condition unknown; warhead absent from one tube). Mortars: 3x tube assemblies (60 mm class) with 7 associated mortar rounds (varied condition). Preliminary Forensic Notes: External markings and manufacturing traits on several components are consistent with older Algerian inventory / eastern-bloc production. Serial number recovery ongoing; several surfaces are degraded by wear and tear/heat. Provenance Assessment: At present, no definitive chain-of-custody or transfer lineage can be demonstrated. Viable hypotheses include: Longstanding caches or theft from regional depots (historical losses). Illicit market transfers via smuggling networks. Battlefield capture/recirculation. External supply—cannot be confirmed without serial trace and forensic match. Recommended Follow-On Tasks: Priority forensic trace: serial recovery, metallurgy, and explosive signature analysis. SIGINT tasking: retrospective pull for traffic indicative of weapons handoffs along known smuggling routes (Tindouf corridor, border crossings). CI/HUMINT: vet detainee claims against recovered item details; task host-nation CI to review recent inventory losses. Operational: locate and capture further caches to increase data points for further analysis and confirmation of equipment provenance, increase surveillance on known or suspected smuggling routes.
  27. YOUSSEF AHMED BENKHALED Classification: TOP SECRET – Field Use Only PERSONAL INFORMATION Name: Youssef Ahmed Benkhaled Alias: Youssef Date of Birth: 14 March 1980 Place of Birth: Tamanrasset, Algeria Nationality: Algerian Current Affiliation: Sahrawi Resistance / Polisario Front Current Role: Field Commander, Western Sahara Operations PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION Height: 1.78 m Weight: 75 kg Hair: Black Eyes: Brown Distinguishing Marks: Scar on left forearm, tribal tattoo on right shoulder FAMILY TIES & PERSONAL MOTIVATION Father: Algerian Army officer, retired; provided early military exposure. Mother: Sahrawi; passed away in 2020. Impact: Death of his mother marked a turning point, intensifying his commitment to Sahrawi self-determination. Siblings: One younger brother, remains in Algeria; occasional liaison contact. MILITARY SERVICE RECORD 1999–2003 2nd Commando Regiment, Tamanrasset: Airborne infantry, desert operations 2003–2007 1st Special Forces Regiment, Boghar: Recon, counter-insurgency, advanced commando training 2006 IMET, USA: Counterterrorism & convoy security; Fort Bragg & Fort Benning. Training records verified by U.S. DoD. Curriculum included convoy drills, small-unit tactics, and counter-IED operations. 2007–2010 Algerian Army Liaison, Algiers: International training coordination 2008 -2010 TSCTP: Regional counterterrorism, cross-border interdiction; verified by US D.o.D. 2010–Present Sahrawi Resistance / Polisario Front: Field commander; ambushes, sabotage, convoy interdiction TRAINING & QUALIFICATIONS ESTS, Biskra (2000–2002): Airborne & commando operations EFCIP, Boghar (2002–2003): Advanced commando & sabotage IMET, USA (2006–2007, CONFIRMED): Counterterrorism & convoy security; U.S. DoD verified TSCTP (2008, CONFIRMED): Regional counterterrorism coordination IDEOLOGICAL PROFILE Deeply committed to Sahrawi self-determination, shifted decisively in 2020 after mother’s death Views U.S. support to Morocco as complicit in occupation Motivates forces using both tactical proficiency and political narrative COUNTERINTELLIGENCE NOTES High threat: combines professional training, confirmed U.S. tactical exposure, and operational leadership Probable link to Laayoune leak compromising Moroccan convoy movements Network spans refugee camps and border regions PRIORITY ACTIONS Track and neutralize Youssef to disrupt operational cohesion HUMINT collection in Sahrawi camps for corroboration CI sweep of Moroccan channels for potential insider leaks RISK ASSESSMENT Operational Security: OPFOR exhibits high situational awareness and ideological motivation Counterintelligence Exposure: confirmed IMET/TSCTP participation represents a doctrinal vulnerability; U.S. convoy and counter-IED training exploited against Moroccan/U.S. interests Psychological Influence: detainees and sympathizers frame U.S. as morally compromised, potentially boosting recruitment and morale
  28. HUMINT LEAD PACKET — SULTANS WRATH (Derived from D-01 / D-02) Classification: SECRET – Operational Use Only Date: June 26, 2025 Prepared by: 3dMRB S-2 Intelligence HET / Intel Cell 1) Executive Summary Two detainees provided partial, evasive testimony. Key HUMINT leads: (1) an operational commander known as “Youssef,” (2) a probable insider leak in Laayoune, (3) foreign-sourced explosives (Russian/Cyrillic packaging), and (4) persistent rumors that Youssef once trained with U.S. forces during an exchange/liaison program while serving in the Algerian army. This last point, while unverified, could explain his familiarity with U.S. convoy doctrine and counter-ambush drills. 2) Source Reliability & Assessment D-01 (25–30, low-level fighter): Low reliability; evasive, confrontational, ideological focus. Provided general admissions (wall charges, ambush structure) but no specifics. D-02 (35–40, senior fighter/driver): Medium reliability; combative but more informative. Confirmed “Youssef” as commander, referenced foreign-sourced explosives, alluded to IMET/TSCTP training. Both detainees corroborate: Ambush executed with professional-level discipline. Familiarity with U.S. convoy tactics. Ideological framing of U.S. as enabling Moroccan suppression of Sahrawi people. 3) Key HUMINT Leads “Youssef” — Ambush Commander Nom de guerre; reportedly ex-Algerian army officer. Detainees allege exposure to U.S.-funded training programs (possibly IMET, TSCTP). Tactical impact: likely source of OPFOR knowledge of herringbone dispersal and convoy SOP exploitation. Priority: High — identification, service history, training records verification. Insider leak — Laayoune Both detainees claim Moroccan officials compromised convoy route. Priority: High — CI investigation to identify personnel with access to ministerial movement data. Explosives & logistics Wall charges of probable foreign origin (Russian/Cyrillic markings). Priority: Medium — forensic analysis, trace supply networks. Ideological motivation & propaganda Detainees frame U.S. as complicit in Sahrawi oppression. Use of interrogations to reinforce narrative of righteous struggle. Priority: Medium — assess messaging impact on local recruitment or morale. OPFOR tactics & discipline Execution of L-shaped ambush, coordinated flanking, timed withdrawal demonstrates high-level tactical proficiency. Priority: Medium — assess training source, replication risk, countermeasures. 4) Corroboration & Collection Requirements CI / HUMINT: Confirm “Youssef” identity and IMET/TSCTP training participation. Investigate Laayoune administrative leak — transport/protocol offices. Interview refugee camp sources for confirmation of leadership identity and prior Algerian service. Forensics / Technical Exploitation: Examine wall charges and blast residue for origin and supply-chain links. SIGINT / IMINT: Review communications around Smara ambush. Monitor suspected staging areas, safehouses, and vehicle movements. Open-source / Liaison: Check IMET / TSCTP training rosters (2000–2015) for Algerian officers matching “Youssef.” Leverage partner intelligence for corroboration without tipping detainee-derived leads. 5) Analyst Comment The detainees’ combative and ideological framing indicates OPFOR confidence and attempts to psychologically challenge U.S. moral authority. The rumor of U.S. training (IMET/TSCTP) is consistent with historical programs and could explain the precision exploitation of U.S. convoy SOPs. Insider leaks from Laayoune remain a probable operational vulnerability. OPFOR demonstrates professional-level small-unit tactics, suggesting foreign or institutional training exposure. Counterintelligence priority: Confirm “Youssef” identity and training background; neutralize leadership node to disrupt operational cohesion. 6) Immediate Recommendations Re-interrogate D-02 to focus specifically on: IMET/TSCTP training timeline and Youssef’s role in Algerian military. Names, locations, or facilitators of Laayoune leaks. Forensic / SIGINT coordination: Trace explosives, validate supply lines, monitor communications. CI Measures: Audit Moroccan channels for potential insider leaks; implement protective protocols for convoy planning. Source Development: Expand HUMINT coverage in refugee camps and local populations to corroborate leadership structure and past foreign exposure. 7) Risk Assessment Operational Security: OPFOR has high situational awareness and is ideologically motivated; detainee compartmentalization likely protects leadership. Counterintelligence Exposure: IMET/TSCTP alumni could represent doctrinal vulnerability if confirmed. Psychological Influence: Detainees actively seek to frame U.S. involvement as morally compromised, potentially affecting local perception and recruitment.

INTERROGATION TRANSCRIPT — DETAINEES CAPTURED BY MSOT 8311 SULTANS WRATH 01-25 Classification: SECRET – HUMINT / Operational Use Only Date: 24–25 June 2025 Location: COP Atlas, Western Sahara AO Conducted by: 3dMRB S-2 Intelligence, HUMINT Collection Team Session 1: Detainee D-01 Profile: Male, approx. 25–30, Polisario fighter. Disposition: Aggressive, confrontational. Q: Who commanded the ambush? A: “Command? You think we need your ranks, your shiny uniforms and papers? We fight because we must. Every man in that desert knows his duty. One day our people will be free, inshallah.” Q: Who is "Youssef"? (NOTE: Suspected nom de guerre of OPFOR Commander - collected through SIGINT during Sultans Wrath 01-25) A: [leans forward] “Youssef fights for our people, not for a king who sells the land to foreigners. He fought before, he fights with his people now. That is all you need to know.” Q: Three US diplomats are dead. How did your people know the convoy’s route? A: “The minister travels with your diplomats, thinking the desert belongs to Rabat and Washington. Everyone knows your patterns. The sand speaks, and so do greedy traitors in Morocco’s offices. They would sell their mother for the right price.” Q: Your people executed a textbook L-shape ambush. Where did that training come from? A: [smirks] “From watching you. From your manuals, your arrogance. You taught Algeria, and now your lessons come back at you. You gave us the tools, and we sharpened them.” Q: Did Youssef train with U.S. forces? A: “Maybe he trained in Algeria, maybe in your own bases. Does it sting to know your own programs make us stronger?” — End Session. D-01 repeatedly frames U.S. as an occupier’s enabler, defiant and ideological. Provided no direct admissions, but confirmed awareness of U.S.-Algerian training links. Session 2: Detainee D-02 Profile: Male, approx. 35–40, senior Polisario fighter. Disposition: Cold, combative but more measured. Q: Who led your ambush? A: “I will only answer if you promise to not hand me over to the Morrocans. They do not treat their prisoners well. My brother has been missing for 15 years." Q: We can't promise you that. The more you cooperate the better your chances are at remaining in US custody. A: “Truthfulness leads to righteousness, and righteousness leads to Paradise.” [Note: later identified as a muslim proverb] "Call him Youssef. I suspect you already know the name. He is Sahrawi in heart, Algerian in past. He has seen your soldiers up close — maybe even wore your patch for a time. Does that frighten you?” Q: Was he part of Algerian army training with the U.S.? A: “Your country trained many in Algiers. You sent officers, you taught convoy drills, counter-terror. You thought they would fight your wars. Instead they fight ours. You cannot undo that.” Q: How was the convoy compromised? A: “Do you think Morocco keeps secrets? Their officials sell them for money, for favors. Your people trust a rotten house, then wonder why the roof falls.” Q: Where are your explosives coming from? A: “From friends who still believe we are more than shadows. The crates had cyrillc writing, but the fire is Sahrawi. You cannot stop it.” Q: What is your objective with these attacks? A: [raises voice] “Our objective? Freedom! The same word your country claims to live by. But you arm the king and call us terrorists. We are the Sahrawi people, and until the last camp in Tindouf is empty, until the wall falls, we will fight — with your tactics if we must, against your allies if we must.” — End Session. D-02 provided sharper ideological justification, acknowledged possible IMET/TSCTP exposure indirectly, and deliberately positioned U.S. as complicit in Sahrawi oppression. HUMINT Exploitation Notes Both detainees leveraged interrogation to push a political narrative and not a religious one, positioning U.S. as an enabler of Moroccan oppression. Deep seated religious beliefs remain however a factor. References to IMET and TSCTP were made indirectly, framed as proof that U.S. training seeded their tactical proficiency. Youssef possibly identified as ex-Algerian army with foreign training exposure; detainees deliberately taunted U.S. interrogators with this fact. High ideological motivation: detainees more concerned with message projection than self-preservation.
