The Quartermaster School honors the fallen Soldiers of the 14th Quartermaster Detachment during a moment of silence ceremony today at the Fort Lee monument on 41st Street. The 14th Quartermaster Detachment is a U.S. Army Reserve water purification unit stationed in Greensburg, Pa. Twenty-five years ago when the Army was deploying troops in support of Operation Desert Storm, the unit arrived at Fort Lee for three days of intensive mobilization training to prepare for deployment to Saudi Arabia. The detachment had been in Country for 6 days when an Iraqi SCUD missile struck a barracks building, killing 29 Soldiers and wounding 99. The 14th Quartermaster Detachment suffered the greatest number of casualties with 13 Soldiers killed and 43 wounded.
