The deceased and missing soldiers are from the 16th Field Artillery Regiment of the 1st Cavalry Division, the Army said. Three U.S. army soldiers died Thursday when their truck overturned in a creek at Fort Hood, Texas, according to a statement by the Army. While medium tactical vehicles have substantial ground clearance they are not built specifically for high-water operations. The 1st Cavalry Division is just one of several units that comprise the Army’s III corps that is stationed at Fort Hood. A medium tactical vehicle is often used as a troop transport, and is comprised of a front cab and bed that can hold equipment or additional soldiers.
