Bodey joined the Army in August 2017 and trained at Fort Benning in Georgia before reporting to Alaska in December 2017.
He was assigned to the 1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division’s 5th Squadron, 1st Cavalry Regiment.
“Spc. Bodey was an essential member of Blackhawk Squadron over the past two years. He was a dedicated, loyal, and exceptionally skilled soldier, focused on performing the mission to the highest standards,” said Lt. Col. Aaron Mock, 5-1 Cavalry commander.
The incident remains under investigation.
