U.S. Army officials are investigating the theft of four military drone systems from Fort Campbell in Kentucky and have announced a reward for information leading to those responsible.
According to a notice posted on the official U.S. Army Fort Campbell social media page, the unmanned aircraft were taken from a facility used by the 326th Division Engineer Battalion. The missing equipment consists of four Skydio X10D drone systems.
The Department of the Army Criminal Investigation Division is offering a $5,000 reward for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the individuals responsible for the theft.
Although the drones were stolen in November 2025, officials only released details publicly on March 11 along with surveillance photographs as part of an effort to identify suspects.
According to a report from WKNY, the drone systems were last seen on Nov. 21, 2025, at the 326th Division Engineer Battalion facility located at Building 6955 on A Shau Valley Road inside Fort Campbell.
Investigators believe unknown individuals entered the building sometime between Nov. 21 and Nov. 24, 2025, and removed the four drone systems.
Fort Campbell officials said the individuals responsible unlawfully accessed the building and carried out the theft during that period.
The Skydio X10D is an unmanned aerial system designed for military operations and capable of carrying modular payloads. Reporting from Business Insider previously noted that the platform can support various mission equipment configurations.
The drone system has also been tested by U.S. forces for specialized operational capabilities. According to information released by the U.S. Army, soldiers with the 7th Army Training Command conducted a live test in July at the Grafenwoehr Training Area in Germany using the Skydio X10D to deploy an M67 grenade with a specialized drop mechanism.
Video shared online from that demonstration showed the system being used during the training exercise.
Officials have not said whether the stolen drones were equipped with payload systems at the time of the theft.
The public disclosure of the missing equipment also comes amid broader concerns about potential drone-related threats in the United States. Reporting from ABC News stated that the FBI recently issued a bulletin to law enforcement agencies in California warning that Iran could attempt to carry out drone attacks in the state as retaliation for military actions.
Army investigators are continuing to examine the circumstances surrounding the Fort Campbell theft and are urging anyone with information about the stolen drone systems to contact authorities.
