This tragedy has touched the 1st Cavalry Division, the Fort Hood community, and the entire Department of Defense,” Carter said. Fort Hood released biographical information on the deceased soldiers on Facebook. Fort Hood officials released the names of eight of the nine soldiers Saturday who were killed earlier this week in Texas after floodwaters overturned an Army tactical vehicle at a low-water crossing during a training exercise. “I am immensely grateful for the efforts of the military and civilian personnel who responded to the Fort Hood incident, and for the safe recovery of three soldiers. In Fort Bend County, just southwest of Houston, emergency officials reported seeing slightly improved conditions in flood-struck areas.
