The Department of Defense announced today the death of a Soldier who was supporting Operation Enduring Freedom.
Twenty-four year old Sgt. Jason M. Swindle of Cabot, Arkansas, died September 20th in Panjwa’l, Afghanistan. He died of injuries sustained when he encountered enemy, small arms fire.
Swindle was assigned to 1st Battalion, 64th Armor Regiment, 2nd Heavy Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division, Fort Stewart. He was an infantryman who joined the Army in July 2005. He had been deployed four times, and posthumously earned the Bronze Star and Purple Heart medals.
The thoughts and prayers of Fort Stewart-Hunter Army Airfield and the 3rd ID are with Swindle’s family; the installation is providing support to the family.
