Eleven soldiers at Fort Bliss “fell ill after consuming a substance acquired outside of authorized food supply distribution channels,” a statement from the Army base said Friday.
In an email to CNN, the public affairs office for the base said the “substance ingested has not been revealed to us, as the investigation is ongoing.” Located in El Paso, Texas, Fort Bliss is home to the 1st Armored Division, “America’s Tank Division.” The unit was undergoing a field training exercise Thursday when the incident happened.
