Pvt. Mejhor Morta was discovered Friday in the vicinity of Stillhouse Lake in Killeen, the Austin American-Statesman reported.
The Pensacola, Florida, native’s cause of death wasn’t immediately released.
The Bell County Sheriff’s Department is investigating the incident. Officials didn’t say whether foul play is suspected.
Lt. Col. Neil Armstrong, commander of the 1st Battalion, 5th Cavalry Regiment, said in a statement that his fellow soldiers are “truly heartbroken by the tragic loss.”
“I would like to send my heartfelt condolences to his family, friends and loved ones,” Armstrong said.
Morta joined the Army in September 2019.
He is at least the fourth Fort Hood soldier whose body was found near the post this year.
Among them was 20-year-old Vanessa Guillen, who went missing on April 22. Her remains were discovered earlier this month in a shallow grave about 20 miles east of Fort Hood.
She was killed and dismembered by fellow soldier Aaron David Robinson, 20, who took his own life, federal and military investigators have said.
A local civilian, Cecily Aguilar, 22, has been arrested and charged with helping Robinson to mutilate and dispose of the body.
