FORT CAMPBELL, KY (CHRISTIAN COUNTY NOW) – Information provided by the public has allowed the 101st Airborne Division and Army CID to identify two suspects in the theft of four military drones.
The Skydio X10D Drone Systems were stolen in November 2025 from a locked storage area within a secured government building. The individuals responsible had authorized access to the military installation and the building, and they defeated the locks on the storage cages in order to steal the drones, according to a news release from the 101st Airborne Division Office of Public Affairs.
Credible evidence has been gathered along with the possible whereabouts of the missing drones as of March 12, the Army said. Although it is still an active criminal investigation, there is no threat to the public. The missing drones are equipped only with small cameras. This was a targeted act, not a random breach of security.
“The Department of the Army Criminal Investigation Division would like to thank the members of the public who came forward with information regarding the recent theft of the drones, the tips we received have proven helpful,” said statement from Thomas B. Hamilton III, the Department of the Army Criminal Investigation Division Public Affairs specialist. The incident remains under investigation.
Since the investigation began, the building that was burglarized has since replaced its doors and locks. Up to $5,000 in reward money was being offered for valid tips that assisted the investigation.
Anyone with any more credible information regarding this incident is encouraged to contact the Army CID Fort Campbell at 931-801-0316 or submit an anonymous tip online at https://www.p3tips.com/armycid.
