Why Army recruitment is down in 2023
Middle East Forum Chief Editor Jim Hanson joins ‘Fox & Friends Weekend’ to explain why the U.S. Army numbers reached their lowest since 1940.
A Fort Cavazos solider is dead and another remained hospitalized Saturday, after a dispute ended in a shooting off-base in central Texas, Army Lt. Col. Charles Patterson confirmed to Fox News Digital Saturday evening.
Both men, who have not yet been identified, were assigned to the 1st Cavalry Division in the Army's III Armored Corps at Fort Cavazos, formerly known as Fort Hood.
Patterson said the Saturday morning shooting is being investigated by the Army and the Nolanville Police Department and the base is "supporting the families" following the incident.
