The cavalry regiment provides opposing-force personnel for rotations at the National Training Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The incident took place Friday, Drylie confirmed, and was reported two days later <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/usawtfm\/photos\/a.391474713605.169598.242181938605\/10154272754643606\/?type=3&amp;theater\">in a post<\/a> on the\u00a0U.S Army W.T.F! Moments Facebook page, which included a photo reportedly of the Apache in question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Army investigators are attempting to determine how the soldier\u00a0\u2014 his name and rank weren&#8217;t released\u00a0\u2014 came in possession of live ammunition. The OPFOR unit is not issued live rounds, Drylie said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;That&#8217;s the $100 question right now, because that unit shouldn&#8217;t have had live ammo,&#8221; he said. &#8220;So, wherever it came from, they&#8217;re going to figure out where it came from.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Apache, with JBLM-based 4th Squadron, 6th Cavalry Regiment, suffered superficial damage from &#8220;about four rounds,&#8221; Drylie said. It landed at 8:44 a.m. as part of a full stop of the training exercise, standard operating procedure when live rounds are introduced unexpectedly. Training resumed later that day after a &#8220;100 percent inspection,&#8221;\u00a0Drylie said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The inspection found one live round remaining in the soldier&#8217;s weapon, he said. The weapon had a blank-fire adapter, but it was blown off by the first live round. The sound of subsequent live rounds led someone to call for a cease fire, Drylie said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Army Criminal Investigation Command &#8220;found nothing criminal in nature&#8221; in its investigation of the incident. CID spokesman Chris Grey said via email. Drylie said the soldier&#8217;s home unit was conducting its own 15-6 investigation into what he called a &#8220;quite rare&#8221; mishap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Accidents do happen and mistakes are made; Army training is by its very nature dangerous,&#8221; he said. &#8220;We take every precaution we can to make sure things don&#8217;t go wrong, and when they do, we stop and we take a hard look &#8230; and try to avoid making similar mistakes in the future.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A soldier who should&#8217;ve been firing
