Authorities arrested several soldiers at Fort Stewart on Tuesday. The soldiers are believed to have used, had or involved in the sale of cocaine.
Officials at the base were reluctant to speak with Popular Military, only offering a small statement in a press release.
“We dedicate resources and work closely with our local law enforcement partners to identify and suppress illegal drug use in our ranks,” Maj. Gen. James Rainey, senior commander of Fort Stewart-Hunter Army Airfield, said in a news release.
An anonymous source at the base told Popular Military that sixty four soldiers from the 3-15 Infantry Battalion and the 1-30 Infantry Battalion are involved. It is not clear how many of them have been arrested. The source said the soldier at the top of the drug ring had ties to a known drug cartel. The names of those arrested have yet to be released.
Local and military law enforcement assisted with the arrests, which Rainey said “does not diminish (other soldiers’) hard work and sacrifices.”
Apparently, security at the Georgia military base locked down the entire base and conducted 100% search of all vehicles entering the base.

Give them some time in Ft. Leavenworth, then give them all dishonorable discharges.
