I never heard of so many heat casualties in one training evolution. Wonder what was going on?
FORT BRAGG, N.C. --- Dozens of Soldiers at North Carolina's Fort Bragg suffered heat-related problems after participating in an early morning march.Base spokesman Ben Abel said Friday that 37 Soldiers required medical treatment. Of those, 13 were taken to Womack Army Medical Center.One Soldier remains in the hospital's intensive care unit.About 60 Soldiers from various units at the sprawling Army base in the southeastern area of the state set out at about 5:30 a.m. for a road march in full combat gear as part of final training to receive their expert field medical badge.Doesn't seem like it was crazy hot...I wonder what the pace was and the type of Soldiers involved (their MOS...if these were grunts then something weird is going on).Temperatures were in the 70s but with a light rain and humidity as high as 95 percent.
Seems like some drug use. Bath salts and spice have unfortunately become popular in north Carolina
ReplyDeleteAs this was the EFMB road march, the type of soldiers involved would be from medical fields, not grunts.
ReplyDeleteHow can you have not made that simple damn connection? Do you possess even the slightest clue about the US Army?
they don't identify the unit that these Soldiers came from...how do you know that they're from the medical field.
