Yet another soldier assigned to Alaska died in his Fairbanks home on Dec. 30 — and the top enlisted soldier for Army Alaska took to Instagram after the death was announced to ask his troops “how we can help.”
Master Sgt. Wesley Woods, a senior infantry NCO assigned to 1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division, is at least the sixth off-duty soldier assigned to Army Alaska found dead since mid-October.
First responders attempted CPR for more than 30 minutes, but Woods was declared dead at the scene according to an Army Alaska release. His death remains under investigation, and his funeral is Monday.
Command Sgt. Maj. Phil Blaisdell asked his soldiers on Instagram to “please send a DM if you need something,” adding in the caption that he’s “not sure what else to do...please let us know how we can help.”
