It’s also possible that the enemy drone got through the defenses because it mistook it for an American UAV making its way back to the base.
Sgt William Jerome Rivers, 46, of Carrollton, Georgia; Spc Kennedy Ladon Sanders, 24, of Waycross, Georgia; and Spc Breonna Alexsondria Moffett, 23, of Savannah, Georgia, are the three individuals confirmed by the Pentagon to have died in the attack.
The three reserve members of the US Army were stationed in Fort Moore, Georgia, with the 718th Engineer Company, 926th Engineer Battalion, and 926th Engineer Brigade.
Of the over forty injured, the majority, according to officials, had lacerations, bruises, traumatic brain injuries, and other similar ailments.
Eight of them required medical evacuation, and the most severely injured is in a critical but stable state.
It has since been discovered that the enemy drone might have been mistaken for an American unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) making its way back to the base.
