The Fort Hood PAO has announced that four US soldiers were killed in the crash of a UH-60 on the Fort Hood Military Reservation. The aircraft crashed yesterday sometime after 5:49PM (CST).
The aircrew was assigned to Division West, 1st US Army. The precise unit to which the aircraft and crew were assigned, as well as the names of those lost, have not yet been released.
The incident provides a grim reminder that even routine peacetime training is often deadly serious business.
Rest in peace, brothers-in-arms. May God comfort your surviving family and friends.
Rest in peace troopers!
Flying was and is a dangerous business, even peacetime.
At about the same time, two (02) other United States Army helicopter crewmen were killed in the crash of an AH-64 “Apache” helicopter in Won Ju, Republic of Korea.
These two (02) news reports really hit me, for in 1973, I was in the 307th Signal Battalion at Won Ju, and my last three (03) years in the United States Army were at Fort Hood, Texas.
May the families and loved ones of those valiant troopers find solace from our Heavenly Father.
Terribly sad. May God grant the troopers’ families comfort and solace.
Amen…
Sad news, Rest In Peace Warriors
This is extremely sad. RIP, troops.
So very sad. May they rest in peace.
In Harm’s Way, war or peace, tis a dangerous business we find ourselves in…

Prayers for blessings for your families that they may be comforted in their time of grief.
Heart Breaker… 🙁

Having gone to far too many services of my brother military aviators, I can attest to the danger of the profession. RIP Brothers, your duty is complete. sadly, Alemaster
