FORT CARSON, COLO. -- A 28-year-old Fort Carson Soldier has been missing since Tuesday.

Pfc. Roy Mason II, 28, assigned to the Warrior Transition Unit (WTU), did not report to Tuesday morning's accountability formation and is listed as absent without leave (AWOL).

A "be on the lookout" (BOLO) notice was issued Tuesday for Mason and a car he rented from Enterprise. The car is a 2008 red Chevy Cobalt, license plate number CO 253SOX. 

Mason is described as being 6 feet tall, weighs 195 pounds and has brown eyes and brown hair. He joined the Army in July 2004, and has been with his current unit since April 2009. Mason has served in two deployments to Iraq, returning from the last in December 2007.

Mason's hometown is Fairfield, CA. He has been awarded the Army Good Conduct Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Iraq Campaign Medal, Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, Combat Infantry Badge, Army Service Ribbon and Overseas Service Ribbon.

There is potential that the soldier is in possession of a firearm, however there is no indication that he is a threat to the general public.

"Please assist us in locating Pfc.Mason and bringing him back safely to his unit, friends and family. We are very concerned about this soldier and my heart goes out to his family and friends who are right now wondering where he is," said Maj. Gen. Mark A. Graham, commanding general, Division West (First Army) and Fort Carson.

Anyone with information on his whereabouts or who may have spotted Mason is encouraged to call the Fort Carson Military Police at 719-526-2333.
