UPDATE: 32 Injured in Camp Shelby Parachute Training Exercise

Authorities say four of the 32 soldiers injured in a night parachute exercise in Mississippi have been admitted to a hospital. Forrest General Hospital trauma medical director Dr. Duncan Donald says most were hurt trying to get out of trees in the dark and falling to the ground. Officials say about 650 soldiers based in Alaska were blown into trees while jumping into Camp Shelby Joint Forces Training Center.

Col. Christopher Landers is commander of the 4th Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division. He says injuries during training jumps are fairly common. But he says the scale of this accident is fairly rare, with 87 soldiers blown into trees.

He says he knows of about a half-dozen accidents with large numbers of solders ending up in trees during his career, and each had a different cause.

Landers said the last soldier was brought down about 8 a.m. Thursday but equipment was still being retrieved that afternoon.

A town hall for paratroopers and their families will be held at the Alaska base where the brigade combat team is based.
