The US military has been losing more troops in training than in combat situations over the past few years, a trend that has sparked concerns in Congress.
At least 80 US service members were killed in training accidents last year compared to the 21 that died in combat, according to statistics cited in this year’s military spending bill, the National Defense Authorization Act.
This has been the trend since 2015, according to Representative Mac Thornberry (R-Texas), chairman of the Armed Services Committee.
