Army to review command at Fort Hood after deaths

U.S. Army officials said Friday they will begin an independent review of the command climate at Fort Hood following calls from members of Congress and community activists for a more thorough investigation into the killing of a soldier from the Texas base.

Secretary of the Army Ryan D. McCarthy said he was directing the review and that it will be conducted by an independent panel of congressional representatives selected in collaboration with League of United Latin American Citizens.The review comes in the wake of the death of Spc. Vanessa Guillen, 20, who investigators say was bludgeoned to death at Fort Hood by a fellow soldier.
