FORT RILEY, Kan. (AP) _ A 1st Infantry Division soldier from Massachusetts has died from wounds he suffered while deployed to Iraq.

The Army said Sgt. 1st Class Kevin A. Dupont died Wednesday at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio. The 52-year-old from Templeton was wounded March 8 when a roadside bomb exploded near his vehicle.

Dupont was a member of the 79th Troop Command of the Massachusetts Army National Guard. He was assigned to the 1st Brigade, 1st Infantry Division as a transition team member in August 2008.

Transition teams spend 60 days at Fort Riley, then deploy for a year serving as advisers to either the Iraqi or Afghanistan security forces.

To date, 166 Fort Riley personnel have died serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.
