FORT CARSON, Colo.—The military says another Fort Carson soldier has been killed in Afghanistan.
The Defense Department said Tuesday that 24-year-old Sgt. Eduviges (ed-YOU’-vez) G. Wolf died Sunday from wounds she suffered when insurgents attacked her vehicle with a rocket-propelled grenade in Kunar Province.
She was from Hawthorne, Calif.
She was assigned to Fort Carson’s 704th Brigade Support Battalion, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division.
Wolf was deployed to Afghanistan on June 8. She joined the Army in November 2003.
Wolf is the 16th Fort Carson soldier killed this month. A Fort Carson spokeswoman says this is the deadliest single month for the post since the war in Afghanistan started in 2001 and the Iraqi invasion in 2003.
