Soldiers from Fort Carson are helping recover a $750,000 Arizona-based Army drone found west of Denver.
The post confirmed the effort Thursday afternoon.
The drone has been missing since Jan. 31 from a training range at Fort Huachuca. It's a mystery how the RQ-7 Shadow reconnaissance drone made it to Colorado, traveling about 900 miles or more than 10 times the drone's stated range.
