The US Army has a fully operational plan to execute all four of its military death row inmates, and the only thing standing between it and the first military execution in 65 years is a signature from President Donald Trump.
An internal planning document reviewed by ABC News reveals that the Army issued the plan, officially named 'Operation Resolute Justice,' in February 2026. The document directs the Army to coordinate with the Federal Bureau of Prisons to transfer the four condemned men from the US Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, to the federal execution facility in Terre Haute, Indiana. An Army spokesperson confirmed the plan's existence and called the associated drills standard preparation, but confirmed no presidential order has been given.
