Bear Attack on Soldiers: New Investigation Report
Description
Two soldiers from the eleventh Airborne Division were attacked by a brown bear during land navigation training on Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson. The incident occurred near the bears den, but both soldiers managed to deploy bear spray before sustaining injuries. They are currently recovering in an Anchorage hospital. This attack follows a previous incident in May 2022, where a sow with cubs killed Staff Sergeant Seth Michael Plant and injured another soldier. A new investigation report from Fish and Game reveals that bears become more active in spring, roaming up to six hundred square kilometers for food. Officials are monitoring bear movements around Anchorage, including the base, while the division investigates the incident to mitigate risks without compromising training.
