Army general left classified maps on train, concussed after ‘overindulgence’ in alcohol: Inspector general report

Maj. Gen. Antonio Aguto Jr. left Secret-classified maps unattended on a train for 24 hours and sustained a concussion after overconsuming alcohol at a Kyiv event, DoD IG found.

  • A Pentagon inspector general report found that Maj. Gen. Antonio Aguto left a tube of classified maps unattended on a train between Ukraine and Poland for over 24 hours before they were recovered by U.S. officials.
  • Investigators could not determine who was responsible for the maps during the return trip, noting proper procedures for transporting classified materials were not followed, though Aguto accepted responsibility.
  • The probe also concluded that Aguto suffered a moderate-to-severe concussion after multiple falls in Kyiv, with at least one fall linked to alcohol intoxication during a dinner.
  • While additional complaints about a toxic work environment at the Ukraine-focused command were examined, the report did not hold Aguto personally responsible for those issues.
