The former commander of the the Army Fires Center of Excellence and Fort Sill, Oklahoma was found dead in his on-post home at Redstone Arsenal on Sunday.
Maj. Gen. John Rossi, 55, had just arrived Redstone Arsena to take over as the commander of the Army Space and Missile Defense Command since relinquishing command of Fort Sill on July 21st, according to KSWO.
Rossi and his family only moved into their house on-post less than two weeks ago, according to John Cummings, a spokesman for Army Space and Missile Defense Command.
Today, he was scheduled to be promoted to lieutenant general and take over command from Lt. Gen. David Mann. Mann, who was scheduled to retire, will remain in command of Army Space and Missile Defense Command/Army Forces Strategic Command, said Cummings.
He really was a very out front, very polished, professional leader. He was the first non-field artilleryman to command Fort Sill, that had challenges which he met very adroitly, very professionally. He just really stepped up to be a true leader in the community which is what was expected and what he did, said Retired Major General Lee Baxter (former Fort Sill commander).
According to Baxter, Major General Rossi served all around the United States, Korea, Germany, Southwest Asia and Iraq with the Air Defense Artillery. He said he Rossi became great friends over the years at Fort Sill and rarely went more than a week or 10 days without talking.

What did Hillary have against him, I wonder?/
Suspicious circumstances?
The article failed to say WHY he died or how.
Redstone Arsenal is in our neck of the woods.
Someone had better do an inventory of weapons. Lord knows what Hillary and Barry have sold to whom?
Ft Sill & Redstone Arsenal ping
It says they are investigating but no obvious signs of foul play. Maybe they will say he was old,smoked and had health problems.
Right before he gets his 3rd state he dies suddenly ???
Right our of a Clinton/Obama playbook...
What did he do “wrong” ???
Under Obama there have been a lot suspicious happenings in the Missile Defense Command.
What does your local news say he died from?
That was an excellent tribute from Major General Lee Baxter (former Fort Sill commander). I remember when he was the XO of 3d Armd DivArty in 1984-86 at Hanau, Germany. I was the S-2
If Hillary had anything to do with it, he probably had two gunshots to the back of the head. It will ruled a suicide.
Was it another suicide?
There’s been a lot of that going around.
The rats are cleaning house of any or all ‘problems’.
