The Department of Defense has concluded the notification process for the families of the six Army Reservists killed in the March 1 drone strike at Port Shuaiba, Kuwait. The final two names released on Wednesday complete the roster of those lost when an explosive drone struck a command center used by the 103rd Sustainment Command.

The Fallen Soldiers

The six service members represented a broad range of experience, from a veteran Chief Warrant Officer to a 20-year-old Sergeant.

• CW3 Robert Marzan, 54 (Sacramento, CA)
• MAJ Jeffrey O’Brien, 45 (Indianola, IA)
• CPT Cody Khork, 35 (Winter Haven, FL)
• SFC Nicole Amor, 39 (White Bear Lake, MN)
• SFC Noah Tietjens, 42 (Bellevue, NE)
• SGT Declan Coady, 20 (West Des Moines, IA)

Context of the Strike

The attack marks a significant escalation in regional hostilities, occurring less than 24 hours after the initiation of joint U.S. and Israeli military operations against Iranian targets. The loss of these six Reservists is one of the single deadliest incidents for U.S. forces in the region in recent years.

Current Status: President Trump has confirmed his intent to be present for the dignified transfer of the fallen at Dover Air Force Base. Investigation into the origin of the drone and potential lapses in base defense systems is currently underway.
