The three soldiers who lost their lives were pronounced dead at the scene of the accident, while the three injured troops were transported to the Winn Army Community Hospital.

“Today is a heartbreaking day for the 3rd Infantry Division, and the entire Fort Stewart-Hunter Army Airfield community, as we are all devastated after a training accident this morning on the Fort Stewart Training Area,” Maj.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that the six soldiers involved in the training accident were part of the 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team.

Fort Stewart spokesman Lt. Col. Patrick Husted told the media outlet that the Bradley Fighting Vehicle the soldiers were in accidentally rolled over into water at about 3:20 am during a training exercise.

Thankfully, all of the soldiers involved were recovered from the overturned vehicle. Of the three injured soldiers who were transported to the hospital, two have already been released and the third was moved to the Memorial Hospital in Savannah with “non-life threatening” injuries.

“Tragic and devastating”

Rep. Buddy Carter (R-GA), who represents the district in which Fort Stewart is located, called the accident “tragic and devastating” and said in a statement: “These brave soldiers gave everything for their nation, including their lives.

“Amy and I send our most sincere condolences to the families and friends of these heroes and the entire 3ID community,” the congressman added. “The sacrifices of our military families are greater than most of us will ever know.”
