San Antonio GI killed in Guatemala exercise
San Antonio GI killed in Guatemala exercise
By Sig Christenson : April 23, 2014 : Updated: April 23, 2014 2:17pm
A soldier from U.S. Army South in San Antonio was killed this week in an incident in Guatemala that left three other GIs injured.
The soldier wasn't identified, but he was assigned to the 56th Signal Battalion at Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston, the command said Wednesday.
He was killed Tuesday and the other soldiers were injured during an engineer project when a large tree branch fell on them.
The incident occurred during “Beyond the Horizons,” an exercise two hours outside Guatemala City.
