A U.S. soldier died during a training incident in Hungary this week, the Army’s 101st Airborne Division confirmed to Fox News Digital Saturday. 

Sgt. Aaron Cox, 24, of Mabank, Texas, died Thursday near Camp Croft from injuries sustained in a crash when he was driving a vehicle in preparation for the Saber Guardian 25 exercise.

Cox was an infantryman assigned to the “Strike” 2nd Mobile Brigade Combat Team of the 101st Airborne Division.
