Moody, William Robert

Sergeant William Robert Moody was a 30-year-old soldier from Burleson, Texas. He served with the 32nd Transportation Company, 68th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion, 43rd Sustainment Brigade, based out of Fort Carson, Colorado. His unit was part of the logistical support network for U.S. forces in Afghanistan.

On June 18, 2013, Moody died at Bagram Airfield, the largest U.S. military base in Afghanistan. According to the Department of Defense, his death was the result of a hostile incident. The specific details of the attack were not publicly released by military officials at the time.

Moody was killed during Operation Enduring Freedom, the U.S.-led military campaign in Afghanistan that began in October 2001. By 2013, the mission had shifted from major combat operations to a focus on training Afghan forces and conducting counterinsurgency. Bagram Airbase remained a frequent target for insurgent attacks throughout this period.

Following his death, Moody was posthumously promoted from Specialist to Sergeant. His body was returned to Texas, where he was buried at the Dallas-Fort Worth National Cemetery. The Army released a statement expressing condolences to his family and fellow soldiers.

Sergeant Moody is remembered on memorials at Fort Carson and within his hometown community. His name is inscribed on the Afghanistan War Memorial at the National Infantry Museum in Georgia, honoring those who died during the conflict.
