By: Meghann Myers  

 

A vehicle rollover at Fort Polk, Louisiana’s Joint Readiness Training Center on Wednesday left one civil affairs soldier dead and a dozen others injured, according to a release from 1st Special Forces Command.

Staff Sgt. Jacob Hess, 34, was assigned to the 97th Civil Affairs Battalion, 95th Civil Affairs Brigade, at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, the release said.

“Jacob was a talented noncommissioned officer and dedicated member of the brigade," his commander, Col. Charles Burnett, said in the release. “He will be greatly missed by those who had the great fortune and opportunity to know him.”
