During a "weather-induced training hold," a tree fell on and killed two soldiers on Mount Yonah in north Georgia.
Army identifies 2 soldiers killed by falling tree in Georgia
Typically, when a thunderstorm moves through a training area, trainees will ground their weapons, and move to low ground until the storm passes.
The two guys were a Second Lieutenant, 2nd Lt. Evan Fitzgibbon, recently commissioned at West Point, and a 7th Special Forces Group medic, Staff Sergeant George Taber.
It is an inherently dangerous business.
RIP, guys. RLW
