FORT CARSON — The U.S. Defense Department says a Fort Carson soldier was killed in combat in Afghanistan. The military said Sunday that Sgt. Lex L. Lewis, 40, of Rapid City, S.D., was killed Friday when insurgents attacked his unit with small-arms fire in Farah province.
Lewis was a cavalry scout assigned to the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, part of Fort Carson’s 4th Infantry Division.
He joined the Army in 1999 and was on his third deployment. Officials said he served in Iraq in 2003 and 2004, and again in 2008 and 2009.
