Private First Class Victor J. Stanfill, 19, died during a live-fire training exercise at the Joint Readiness Training Center at Fort Polk in May 2016. Stanfill, an infantryman with A Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division, had enlisted in September before being assigned to the unit. He was taken to Bayne-Jones Army Community Hospital on Fort Polk and pronounced dead at about 11:08 a.m. on the day of the incident.

The Army dispatched the U.S. Army Combat Readiness Center from Fort Rucker to lead an investigation. The specific details of what went wrong during the live-fire event have not been released, and the Army said it would not publish cause analysis or internal recommendations under Department of Defense and Army rules. There is no indication in the report of foul play or any arrests.

If anyone has information about the training exercise or Stanfill’s assignment at Fort Polk, please share what is known.
