“Two soldiers were declared dead at the scene of the crash and a third died en route to Fairbanks Memorial Hospital. The fourth soldier is being treated at Fairbanks Memorial for injuries sustained in the crash,” a press release from the Army said. “This is an incredible loss for these soldiers’ families, their fellow soldiers, and for the division,” Eifler said. “Our hearts and prayers go out to their families, friends and loved ones, and we are making the full resources of the Army available to support them.”
