If this record is wrong

This page reproduces the Defense Manpower Data Center’s record, which DMDC maintains; the Defense Casualty Analysis System’s contact page points to it. If this page differs from DMDC’s list for Operation Enduring Freedom, the error is ours, and Corrections says how to tell us. The casualty type comes from the data behind that list and the operation’s totals, not from the columns the list displays.

What this data cannot show

  • This is the record the Department of Defense keeps of this death. It says who, their rank, service and unit, and when and where, and it does not say how or why. This page does not either.
  • The Department’s list marks hostile deaths. Its totals for Operation Enduring Freedom count every death the list does not mark under "Non-Hostile/Pending Deaths", and that is what the casualty type above says.
  • The Defense Manpower Data Center revises its lists as records are completed. This record is from its list as of September 23, 2026.
