A Facebook photo posted in 2013 shows US soldiers posing with what appears to be a dummy nuclear weapon at Volkel Air Base in the Netherlands.
* American soldiers stationed at military bases in Europe armed with nuclear weapons have been unknowingly sharing secret protocols and base details
* Military personnel used flashcard apps to study and memorize the details of the nuclear weapon systems
* They failed to realize the flashcards containing highly confidential information was available online which anyone could look up
* Flashcards contained details including info helping soldiers remember which vaults within a base contained nuclear weapons and which ones were empty
* By simply looking up the names of specific bases thought to contain nuclear weapons details including about passwords, security procedures were revealed
* Locations of security cameras and duress signal words soldiers can use when compromised were also included
* The flashcards dated back to 2013 but some were as recent as April 2021

* All flashcards have since been deleted after the military were asked for comment
