The military confirmed that a 21-year-old soldier, Wooster Rancy, has been charged with murder and obstructing justice in the death of 23-year-old Sgt Sarah Roque.
Sgt Sarah Roque, a mine-detecting dog handler, was reported missing on October 20 and her body was discovered in a trash bin two days later.
Women in the US military face significant vulnerabilities to violence due to isolation from family and friends, which affects their support in disputes.
Roque's case highlights a troubling pattern, as she is at least the third Hispanic female US army soldier to be murdered since 2020.
