FORT BRAGG, N.C. — More than a dozen U.S. Army Special Operations Command soldiers were apprehended and questioned last week as part of an investigation alleging drug involvement, officials said.
All 15 soldiers assigned under USASOC were questioned and released to their command, while two of the 15 were “cleared of any wrongdoing,” said Lt. Col. Michael Burns, a spokesman for the U.S. Army Special Operations Command.
The U.S. Army Special Operations Command is the higher headquarters for the Army’s Special Forces soldiers, Army special operation forces and soldiers in support units.
“(The Army Criminal Investigation Division’s) investigation is ongoing, and it would be inappropriate to discuss the status of their investigation,” Burns said. “All soldiers have the right to due process, including the presumption of innocence under the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
