FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. — A helicopter training mishap on Wednesday evening at Fort Campbell resulted in the death of one soldier and injuries to another, according to a statement from the Army post.

The soldiers’ names were not immediately released and the incident is under investigation.

On Thursday, Fort Campbell representatives reported that the event took place around 7 p.m. in their designated training zone. No further specifics were disclosed.

The injured soldier was taken to Blanchfield Army Community Hospital and is in stable condition, it said.

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear was among those offering condolences to the family of the soldier who died.

“Regardless of the circumstances, the loss of a service member impacts not only the family but should resonate with all of us,” mentioned the Democratic governor on Thursday.

Kentucky state Sen. Craig Richardson, whose western Kentucky district includes the Fort Campbell area, said the soldier’s death was heartbreaking.

“This tragedy is a solemn reminder that the dangers our military faces are not limited to distant battlefields,” the Republican lawmaker said. “The call to serve brings risks at home, in training, preparation, and quiet readiness.”

The sprawling Fort Campbell post straddles the Kentucky-Tennessee line.
