The United States Air Force has moved to discipline 15 personnel over the leakage of classified military information allegedly by Air National Guardsman Jack Teixeira.

The Air Force in a statement on Monday, said the personnel could be relieved from their positions including command positions, to non-judicial punishment under Article 15 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, Reuters reports.

"The actions ranged from relieving personnel from their positions, including command positions, to non-judicial punishment under Article 15 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice," an Air Force statement said.

Prosecutors say Teixeira leaked classified documents to a group of gamers on the messaging app Discord. The leak is considered the most serious U.S. national security breach since more than 700,000 documents, videos and diplomatic cables appeared on the WikiLeaks website in 2010.
