Candace Owens on RCH 702, With the DVIDS Source

What This Image Shows

This is a composite with two halves that argue against each other, which is why it is one of the more useful images in the cluster. On the left is a post by Candace Owens (@RealCandaceO), last edited 3:43 PM on 26 Dec 25, headed "RCH 702 has been identified." Its text states that on July 11th — which Owens describes as the day Charlie Kirk told Tucker Carlson to "GO MAX in a speech against Israel" — Dustin Gard-Weiss was announced as the new executive director of the CIA, replacing John Ratcliffe, and that Gard-Weiss's former post as under secretary of defense for intelligence and security went to Bradley Hansell, confirmed by the Senate on July 22nd. It continues: "It was Bradley Hansell's office who booked the trip from Fort Andrews, to Colorado Springs, to Tucson, before the call sign turned to SAM as it entered into Fort Huachuca on the 8th." The post says the aircraft holds 12 people, that work is continuing to confirm who else was aboard, and asks for tips at Moretips@candaceowens.com.

The right half is the browser view of where the photograph in that post actually comes from: the DVIDS (Defense Visual Information Distribution Service) page, with the official caption "Under Secretary of War for Intelligence and Security Bradley Hansell visits JTF-SB leaders [Image 3 of 5]," plus its metadata and licensing terms. The photo carries a dvidshub.net watermark in the post.

That pairing matters. The DVIDS caption confirms the identification of Hansell and confirms a JTF-SB visit, and it also shows the image is an officially released government photograph of a publicized visit rather than a leaked or clandestine one. Owens's flight-booking claim goes beyond what the caption supports. Bradley Hansell has not been accused of any offense. Nothing here establishes that any person or agency had advance knowledge of the assassination or any role in it. Prosecutors have charged a domestic suspect who has not been convicted.

See Fort Huachuca September 9, Fort Huachuca, SAM 99-0404, and SAM 702.
