(CNN) The US Army has announced a new investigation into leadership decisions at Fort Hood related to the death of Specialist Vanessa Guillen and decided that a top general overseeing operations there will remain at the base in Texas instead of moving to a new role while the investigation proceeds. Gen. John Murray, currently the commanding general of Army Futures Command, will "lead an in-depth investigation into the chain of command actions related to Spc. Vanessa Guillen," according to an Army statement on Tuesday. "With Maj. Gen. Efflandt remaining at Fort Hood, the Army will announce the name of a new commander for the 1st Armored Division, which Efflandt had previously been designated to lead," it added, saying that the announcement is expected in the coming days. The death of the 20-year-old Guillen, whose remains were discovered in June, months after her disappearance, has sparked a series of reviews into the environment at the massive Army base which houses 36,500 soldiers.
