Operation Valhalla: A Real Exercise, a Speculative Connection

Showing 4 Operation Valhalla videos from Charlie Kirk's video collection.

Operation Valhalla refers to a documented week-long military training exercise conducted by the 891st Missile Security Forces Squadron from Minot Air Force Base at Camp Ripley, Minnesota, from August 24th to 29th, 2025, roughly two weeks before Kirk's assassination. Candace Owens has cited the exercise's timing and FBI Director Kash Patel's use of the word Valhalla during an unrelated press conference as evidence connecting the training operation to the broader pattern of military-linked figures she has identified across the case, including the surgeon, medical examiner, and multiple witnesses present on September 10th.

Owens has drawn an explicit historical parallel between the case and Julius Caesar's assassination, framing her ongoing effort to identify establishment figures she considers analogous to Brutus as a central organizing question of her investigation. Coverage of Operation Valhalla stays narrow, reflecting its role as a supporting reference point within Owens's much broader military-connections theory rather than a standalone claim independently corroborated elsewhere, with the training exercise's actual public documentation limited to its dates, unit, and location, leaving the connection to Kirk's death resting almost entirely on timing and a single ambiguous word choice.
