A routine field exercise ended in tragedy late Thursday night at Fort Stewart, Georgia.
Two soldiers from the 3rd Infantry Division’s 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team lost their lives in a single-vehicle crash during a nighttime exercise.
Details remain scarce, but Fort Stewart officials confirmed that no other personnel were injured.
Names of Soldiers Not Released
The names of the fallen soldiers are being withheld until their families are notified.
This accident is part of a grim week for the Army.
Just a day earlier, a Black Hawk helicopter collision in Washington, D.C., claimed the lives of three soldiers and 64 civilians.
Third Leading Cause of Death in Military
Military training, especially at night, is inherently dangerous.
Tactical vehicle accidents are among the leading causes of training fatalities.
A 2021 report revealed that nearly a third of military training deaths between 2010 and 2019 involved ground vehicle mishaps.
