Report details causes of July accident at Pope Army Airfield Published Dec. 2, 2014 SCOTT AIR FORCE BASE, Ill -- Air Mobility Command released the results of a ground accident investigation board regarding the July 17 accident at Pope Army Airfield, Fort Bragg, N.C. Staff Sgt. Timothy Wright, assigned to the 43rd Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron, was struck by a High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (Humvee) during the course of an Air Force squadron-level training exercise. Although several unit members were medical personnel and immediately performed advanced life support measures, Staff Sgt. Wright died as a result of the injuries sustained in the mishap. The board president identified several relevant human factors in the mishap: the driver may have focused his conscious attention on certain cues to the exclusion of others, leading to an unsafe situation; a lack of understanding of changes to the exercise scenario; insufficient time to adequately plan those changes; and an inadequate risk management assessment. The GAIB report is the result of a four-week investigation that included site visits; witness testimony; input from technical experts; review of security footage; review of planning, maintenance, and training records; and review for compliance with Air Force directives and guidance.
