The retired Nebraska National Guard soldier, who worked with Walz for three years, recounted the disappearance in an interview as a congressional investigation into Walz's China ties continues.
Alpha News has learned from a former National Guard colleague of Walz that, during that time, a classified document allegedly went missing—the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) manual detailing the howitzer’s nuclear capabilities.
It was September 1995, and Tim Walz’s Nebraska National Guard unit, the 1-168th Field Artillery, upgraded to the M109A5 self-propelled howitzer.
One of its capabilities was firing nuclear artillery shells.
According to Walz’s former National Guard colleague, around the time the nuclear SOP manual went missing, Walz was pulled over by a Nebraska state trooper for driving 96 mph in a 55-mph zone.
He alleges Walz was one of the few with access to the building where the top-secret manual was stored and was “often the only one there.” The former battalion member said he believes Walz stole the nuclear SOP manual and later returned it.
The retired Nebraska National Guard soldier, who worked with Walz for three years, recounted the disappearance in a phone interview with Alpha News.
According to the retired soldier, Walz had just returned from another trip to China around the time when the manual went missing.
