The four, assigned to the 173rd Brigade Support Battalion, 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team, died from injuries sustained when their vehicle was attacked with a roadside bomb, according to a DOD news release on Friday.

Information about memorial service arrangements in Bamberg was unavailable Saturday.
