Elder Fernandes, a chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear specialist assigned to the 1st Cavalry Division&#8217;s Sustainment Brigade, has been missing from Fort Hood since Monday, according to base officials.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have completed a search of the entire division area, to include motorpools, parking lots, and headquarters buildings and the unit is in contact with the soldier\u2019s family, the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Division and civilian law enforcement agencies to help find him as we continue our search,\u201d according to a base news release.<\/p>\n<p>The disappearance of Fernandes, 23, continues a troubling year for Fort Hood, which is one of the largest military bases in the world with about 36,500 U.S. soldiers assigned to the central Texas base.<\/p>\n<p>In July, the Army identified the remains of Spc. Vanessa Guill\u00e9n, 20, who had been missing since April. She was killed and dismembered by a fellow soldier, Spc. Aaron Robinson, who shot and killed himself as police were close to taking him into custody, according to court documents.<\/p>\n<p>In June, the remains of Pvt. Gregory Wedel-Morales, 23, were discovered after he was discharged and presumed AWOL in August 2019.<\/p>\n<p>The scrutiny on the base has delayed the planned transfer of the base commander, Maj. Gen. Efflandt, who was slated to take over leadership of the 1st Armored Division at Fort Bliss, a base near El Paso, Texas. Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy said an independent panel will investigate the \u201ccommand climate of the installation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Officials are asking anyone with information to contact Fort Hood military police at 254-288-1170, Army CID at 254-287-2722, or the Killeen Police Department at 254-200-7905.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It&#8217;s gotten bad when an Army post is looking forward to a troop just going UA.<\/p>\n<p>Source; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stripes.com\/news\/army\/another-soldier-is-missing-from-fort-hood-texas-1.642080\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Stars and Stripes<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stars and Stripes reports Sgt.
