Including the updates.

The Army process has not changed - a soldier in the unit contacted a spouse back in the US and divulged the information to her, something the soldier was not supposed to do.

The spouse then sent a message to the wife of the dead soldier on Facebook. Again, this is something they are told they should NOT do because of the potential harm it can cause.

The Army did not 'send a text'.
