A V Corps spokesperson said Camara had served in V Corps since June 2024. He was the recipient of the Legion of Merit, Bronze Star Medal, and Meritorious Service Medal, among other awards.
"Our thoughts and sympathies are with Lt. Col. Josh Camara's family, friends, and teammates during this difficult time," Col. Kevin Jackson, V Corps chief of staff, said in a statement. "He was an outstanding leader and mentor, and we will remember his legacy and impact."

TVP World, an English-language Polish news network, reported earlier Wednesday that Camara was found inside an apartment after military police stormed an apartment block near Camp Kościuszko.
The report described Camara, without naming him, as a "senior officer." It cited Deputy District Prosecutor for Military Affairs in Poznań, Colonel Bartosz Okoniewski, who said the evidence pointed to "unintentional manslaughter" and not murder.
The U.S. Army has not confirmed the details of the TVP World report. Fox News Digital has reached out to the local authorities in Poznań for more information.
Camara's death is the second high-profile incident involving U.S. soldiers in Poland in recent months. In July, two U.S. soldiers were ambushed and assaulted by a mob of Turkish nationalists in the city of Gdansk.
The U.S. military has increased its presence in Poland in recent years as part of NATO's efforts to deter Russian aggression.
