A 39-year-old Fort Jackson soldier died last week during basic training, according to a news release Thursday.

Pfc. Veronica L. Wynn of Hurtsboro Ala., was engaged in a boot camp training exercise Monday when she became unresponsive. Emergency personnel performed life-saving measures and transported Wynn to a local hospital, where she later died, the release said.

Wynn, assigned to 3rd Battalion, 13th Infantry Regiment, was involved in a “structured and disciplined pickup in the company area,” the release said.

“Today is an especially sad day for Team Jackson after the loss of one of our newest soldiers,” Fort Jackson Commander Maj. Gen. Jason E. Kelly said. “We extend our deepest sympathies to her family, friends and loved ones. We are providing comfort and assistance to her family and fellow trainees.”

The maximum age to enlist is 35, but the Army can lift some restrictions based on the need for certain roles to be filled.

An investigation into the death is underway, Fort Jackson said.
