Green Beret killed in combat operations in Afghanistan identified
2019-09-01
Follow up to this report from yesterday.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Sergeant Dustin Ard, 31, from 1st Special Forces Group died Thursday from wounds sustained during combat operations in Zabul Province, Afghanistan

  • Sgt Ard was on a joint operation with a unit of Afghan commandos

  • The Green Beret, who hailed from Idaho, was preparing to welcome his second child with wife, Mary

  • He is the 15th American service member to die in Afghanistan this year

  • 2019 has been the deadliest year for US troops in Afghanistan since operations were scaled back in the country at the beginning of 2015
We had a brief mention yesterday of an Afghan Special Forces operation against the Taliban in Mizan district of Zabul province —perhaps that was it.
