The Defense Department says five Fort Carson soldiers, including one from South Dakota, were killed when their unit was attacked with an improvised bomb in Afghanistan.
A U.S. patrol in Afghanistan was hit by an explosion on the outskirts of Kandahar Monday. An eyewitness said the explosion set a U.S. military vehicle on fire, and troops cordoned off the area.
The South Dakota soldier killed was Captain Dale A. Goetz of White. He was part of the 4th Infantry Division's 4th Brigade Combat Team, which arrived in Afghanistan this summer.
