The discovery of a U.S. Army soldier, currently serving in the 1st Infantry Division, following a secret TikTok account operated by proscribed neo-Nazi terrorist group The Base has reignited concerns about the Pentagon's approach to extremism within the armed forces, especially after a February memo halted efforts to track and counter such threats.
The Base, designated as a terrorist organization by several U.S. allies including the U.K. and Canada, has previously been the focus of FBI investigations for promoting sabotage, assassination, and the establishment of paramilitary units.
