Fort Cavazos seeks public assistance in locating missing soldier

Fort Cavazos leadership is requesting the public’s help in finding a missing soldier, post officials announced Friday.

“The Soldier is Spc. Craig Chamberlain, assigned to the 704th Explosive Ordnance Disposal Company, 79th Ordnance Battalion” at Fort Cavazos, according to a news release from the fort. “Chamberlain was last reported seen leaving his home in Killeen, Texas, around 6 p.m. May 15 and has not been seen since. His chain of command and his family have been unable to contact him since then.”

Chamberlain’s spouse, Cam Mann, said her interactions with Fort Cavazos military police and Chamberlain’s unit have taken place over the past 24 hours.

Mann said she learned Thursday from Army officials that Chamberlain stopped reporting to work in March.

“He told me he was going to work the whole time, so I didn’t think anything of it, but in reality, he wasn’t really going to work; he was just saying he was going to work,” Mann said. “He was supposed to be reporting to Korea and never did and told his former coworkers that he was in Korea, but he was clearly with me, so that’s when he went AWOL.”
