Tue, 12/08/2020 - 13:45
The Army is standing up a task force to address a series of recommendations to improve soldiers’ safety, welfare and readiness, Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy announced Dec. 8.
The service also has relieved or suspended 14 commanders and other leaders at Fort Hood, Texas, in extraordinary actions after a three-month review of the command climate and culture at the installation.
The review and actions result from the April murder of Spc. Vanessa Guillen, a 20-year-old member of the 3rd Cavalry Regiment at Fort Hood who went missing April 22. Her remains were found June 30. The soldier suspected in her death killed himself when confronted by law enforcement, and a civilian suspect was arrested.
