Fort A.P. Hill is a regional training and maneuver center. The installation regularly hosts approximately 60,000 Soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines annually on the 76,000-acre post’s live-fire ranges and maneuver land. Federal agencies affiliated with law enforcement and homeland security also use the installation’s training facilities on a regular basis.
A thorough investigation of the incident will be conducted by the FBI and Army.
