Prepared Brief: Mission Access | July 2025

What changed in the past five years

Twelve inches of rain will always cause flooding, but losing a weather-radar feed while tornado cells line up over the prairie turns bad luck into blind luck.

The Oklahoma radar outage on July 6, 2025, is only the newest proof that small extremist crews, armed with little more than bolt cutters, fuel, and wire, can switch off machinery that keeps the public safe.

The attackers sit on opposite ends of the political spectrum, yet they focus on the same weak spots: lightly guarded pipelines, rail chokepoints, power nodes, and now Doppler radars.

From sabotage on the rails to militia-planned radar strikes, the tactics are evolving, and the targets are closer to home than you think.
