Five soldiers stationed at Fort Hood in Texas decided to take some work home with them. Now they're under "military control" — because that work happened to be ordnance.
The ordnance originally went missing after a live-fire training exercise conducted at Fort Hood on April 18. Base personnel and personnel from the Killeen Police Department were contacted to recover the ordnance — which was found stored in the off-post homes of five different soldiers.
As it was training ordnance, it was not highly explosive — but the soldiers were still not authorized to remove the ordnance from post.
"We want to express our sincere appreciation to the Killeen Police Department for their fast response and assistance in this matter," Army Criminal Investigation Command Chief of Public Affairs Chris Grey said in a statement.
All missing ordnance has now been recovered and an Army Criminal Investigation Command investigation is ongoing. Soldiers remain under "military control" during ongoing CID investigations — the specific command determines whether the soldiers may remain on duty or in confinement.
