Army Disciplines 21 at Fort Hood in Probe of Soldier Vanessa Guillen’s Death
WASHINGTON The Army said Friday that it has taken disciplinary action against 21 officers and non-commissioned officers at Fort Hood, Texas, in connection with death last year of Spc. Vanessa Guillén, who was missing for about two months before her remains were found.
The punishments, which include firing eight senior commanders, are the latest Army moves in response to Guillén’s disappearance and death, which brought to light widespread leadership failures at a base that had high rates of sexual assault, harassment, drug use and other problems.

They grilled the commander of the Army s Criminal Investigation Command, or CID, who said she is âseizing this momentâ to correct the staffing and resource problems within her agency that led to sweeping failures in tracking and solving cases.
