Soldiers really need to wear seat-belts, year-end analysis shows
Kyle Rempfer
On-duty soldier fatalities fell 25 percent in fiscal 2020, but the number of deaths involving Army combat vehicles continued an upward trend that’s been underway for about four years, data provided to Army Times shows.
When strictly the number of vehicle accidents are counted, regardless of whether there were multiple deaths or none at all, an annual assessment shared by the Army Combat Readiness Center shows that collisions and rollovers reached a five-year low in 2020.
Looking specifically at the incidents that took soldiers’ lives, however, can help prevent those losses in the future.
