They bring the total number of suicide deaths there in 2022 to six.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Two soldiers were members of the brigade\u2019s 1st Battalion, 5th Infantry Regiment.<\/li><li>One soldier was a member of the brigade\u2019s 70th Brigade Engineer Battalion.<\/li><li>The fourth soldier was assigned to a different unit at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson near Anchorage.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the dual-signed letter to the formation, Command Sgt. Maj. Vern Daley and Maj. Gen. Brian Eifler, mourned losing \u201cfour Arctic Angels in the past 30 days to the enemy of despair. We can never replace their loss nor fill the void they left behind.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alaska poses a unique challenge for suicide prevention, which the service already struggles with across the board.

The Army has also created new enlistment and assignment options that allow troops who want to be in Alaska to go there, rather than sending soldiers who aren\u2019t interested in the austere living up North.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These efforts have \u201cmade a tremendous impact,\u201d Eifler and Daley wrote in their letter, while also praising \u201csoldiers and leaders [who] are courageously intervening, courageously asking for help, and courageously getting involved to care for a teammate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the leaders say soldiers and
