Bert Jay Garvin was 45 when he died on March 6, 2014, at the Yakima Training Center in Yakima, Washington. A decorated United States Army Reserve Master Sergeant with more than two decades of service, he was participating in a training exercise that day when another soldier, Daniel C. Gaulke, discharged his weapon and struck Garvin.

The Army Criminal Investigation Command opened an immediate investigation and the case was later referred to a civilian prosecutor to decide whether criminal charges against Gaulke were warranted.

If anyone was at the Yakima Training Center on March 6, 2014, or has information about that training exercise, please come forward with what was seen or heard.
