MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 10th January, 2023) Fifteen US Army Special Operations Command (USASOC) soldiers were questioned last week under an investigation into drug use at Fort Bragg military base, US media reported on Tuesday.
All 15 commandos were released after questioning, with two of them being "cleared of any wrongdoing," Lt. Col. Michael Burns, spokesman for the USASOC, said, according to the Fayetteville Observer newspaper.
Burns added that the investigation by the US Army Criminal Investigation Division was not over, thus it was inappropriate to discuss any details.
"All soldiers have the right to due process, including the presumption of innocence under the Uniform Code of Military Justice," the spokesman said, as quoted by the media.
Burns added that the USASOC did not condone any drug use and was fully cooperating with the investigators.
No soldiers were detained or charged, the newspaper noted.
