CENTCOM Requests Additional Intelligence Officers for 100-Day Iran Campaign
CENTCOM requested additional military intelligence officers at MacDill AFB for at least 100 days, likely through September 2026. This signals IC transition from short-duration assessment posture to sustained intelligence support for an extended Iran campaign, the first known expansion of intelligence personnel for the war.
