A U.S. soldier died during a training incident in Hungary this week, the Army’s 101st Airborne Division confirmed to Fox News Digital Saturday. 

Sgt. Aaron Cox, a 24-year-old from Mabank, Texas, passed away on Thursday near Camp Croft due to injuries he suffered in a vehicle crash while preparing for the Saber Guardian 25 exercise.

Cox was an infantryman assigned to the “Strike” 2nd Mobile Brigade Combat Team of the 101st Airborne Division.
