The incident will be investigated by the Army Combat Readiness Center at Fort Rucker, Alabama, according to base officials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All questions were directed to the Indiana National Guard, which did not immediately respond to questions from Army Times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There has been a slight increase in the total number of vehicle fatalities this fiscal year, but a much larger increase in the total number of rollover deaths specifically, according to data provided to Army Times earlier this summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fatalities sparked some changes in safety initiatives by the service, including a \u201clessons-learned\u201d website for mishaps, exportable safety briefing products and new versions of existing oversight programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rise in<a href=\"https:\/\/www.armytimes.com\/news\/your-army\/2019\/06\/04\/soldiers-families-recall-2016-fort-hood-training-accident-that-killed-9-troops\/\"> vehicle fatalities<\/a> also caught the attention of new Sergeant Major of the Army <a href=\"https:\/\/www.armytimes.com\/news\/your-army\/2019\/06\/11\/meet-the-next-sergeant-major-of-the-army\/\">Michael Grinston<\/a>, when he was still the senior enlisted leader for Army Forces Command.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/armytimes\/news\/your-army\/2019\/07\/03\/army-vehicle-rollover-deaths-spiked-this-fiscal-year\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"164\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/306854.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Army vehicle rollover deaths spiked this fiscal year<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">The incidents have led to new vehicle safety initiatives.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In an <a href=\"https:\/\/safety.army.mil\/MEDIA\/Video-Library\/Video-Player\/VideoId\/403\/UseHtml5\/True\">Army safety brief video<\/a> published in mid-June, Grinston warned troops against driving vehicles they aren\u2019t properly trained on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf I asked you to hop in a vehicle you aren\u2019t qualified in and drive it, would you? What if I asked you to ride in a vehicle driven by another soldier who wasn\u2019t qualified?\u201d Grinston asked. \u201cChances are, this describes you or someone you know and tragically this describes recent scenarios where soldiers have died.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Army motor vehicle mishaps are the number one killer of on-duty soldiers, and inadequate unit driver training programs contribute to 68 percent of these mishaps, according to the video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cRegardless of the echelon of command you serve, demand accountability,\u201d Grinston said in the video.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The training accident occurred in a tactical vehicle on Thursday
