An Army Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) cadet died during a summer training camp at Fort Knox, Kentucky, officials announced on Saturday.

Cadet Neil Edara, 22, of Ridgewood, New Jersey, passed away during training on the Land Navigation site at Fort Knox on July 24, U.S. Army Cadet Command said in a statement. 

Edara joined ROTC at Rutgers University in September 2021. He was attending Cadet Summer Training as part of 9th Regiment, Advanced Camp.

“Edara became unresponsive while conducting Land Navigation Training. He received immediate medical attention and was medically evacuated by helicopter to the University of Louisville, where he was pronounced deceased by medical professionals,” U.S. Army Cadet Command said. “At this time, the cause of death is under investigation.” 

 Lt. Col. Timothy Sorensen, professor of military science, Rutgers University, described Edara as “one of the most dedicated and promising young leaders I’ve had the privilege to know.”

“His calm collected demeanor and unwavering commitment to excellence left a lasting impact on everyone around him,” Sorensen added in a statement. “His loss is deeply felt across the entire ROTC and Rutgers community. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones during this incredibly difficult time.”

U.S. Army Cadet Command said the safety of cadets and cadre remains its top priority as training continues and “cadets have access to religious affairs or spiritual counseling and support as required.” 

Fort Knox houses the U.S. Bullion Depository, often simply called the “Gold Vault.” Built in 1936, the vault is believed to hold a large portion of U.S. gold reserves. The last audit happened in 1976.

President Donald Trump in February said he wanted to visit Fort Knox along with Elon Musk and his so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) at the time to verify the presence of gold.
