About 427 more U.S. service members have been wounded in the conflict, according to the Pentagon’s Defense Casualty Analysis System, which was last updated on July 17.
The war, which has quickly expanded in the Middle East, has killed thousands of people across the region.
On July 7, the U.S. Navy released the identity of a commanding officer who was on board a helicopter that went down in the Arabian Sea six days earlier and is presumed to be dead following days of searching. The other service members who were part of the helicopter crew have been rescued.
Central Command also said on July 19 that, in a separate incident, an American service member in northern Iraq had been killed in action the day before “during a controlled detonation of unexploded ordnance from a downed Iranian one-way attack drone.” The Pentagon has yet to release the identity of that service member.
Here’s what to know about the other sixteen service members who have died in the conflict.
Feehan was assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 55th Air Defense Artillery Regiment, 32nd Army Air Missile Defense Command in Fort Bragg, North Carolina.
“Today, my thoughts and aloha are with 1st Lt Feehan’s family, and the families of all the brave servicemembers killed and injured in this war,” she said. “As we honor their service and sacrifice, I remain committed to doing everything in my power to bring an end to this war.”
Isabella Gonzales
Gonzales was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 57th Air Defense Artillery Regiment, 52nd Air Defense Artillery Brigade, 10th Army Air Missile Defense Command in Ansbach, Germany.
“Texas mourns the loss of Army Pvt. Isabella Gonzales of Carrollton, killed in action serving our nation in Jordan. She was just 19 years old. Her courage and sacrifice represent the very best of Texas,” he said.
Edwards, originally from Oakland, Oregon, is survived by his wife and two children, in addition to his “large extended family,” the Navy said. He graduated from Norfolk State University in 2006 with a Bachelor’s degree in physics, and commissioned through the Naval ROTC.
John Klinner
Maj. John A. Klinner, 33, was a resident of Auburn, Alabama, according to the Pentagon. He graduated from Auburn University in 2016 with a mechanical engineering degree, according to the school. He participated in the Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps at Auburn University, per the MacDill Air Force Base, and in 2017 he joined the Air Force.
Klinner died on March 12, along with five other service members, after the U.S. aircraft they were on crashed in Iraq.
“They won’t get to see firsthand the way he would jump up to help in any way he could,” she said in the post. “They won’t see how goofy and funny he was. They won’t witness his selflessness, the way he thought about everyone else before himself. They won’t get to feel the deep love he had for them.”
Savino died on March 12, in the same crash that killed Klinner and four other service members.
“To lose a member of the Air Force family is excruciatingly painful, especially to those who know them as son, daughter, brother, sister, spouse, mom, or dad. To lose them at the same time is unimaginable,” Szczepanik said. “Our communities feel this loss deeply and Team MacDill will ensure their sacrifices and service to our nation are never forgotten. We will honor them each and every day as we continue to answer our nation’s call.”
Ashley Pruitt
Pruitt died in the March 12 crash in Iraq.
“She knew that this would be her path,” her father told the Times. “She passed doing what she loved—that’s fighting for this country.”
He died in the March 12 crash in Iraq.
“He was truly the most amazing husband, father, son, brother, friend, and Airman. He loved what he did, and he was proud to put his uniform on and serve others,” she said. “He always put others before himself—until the very end. I will see him in the smile of our son and carry him with me in every moment.”
Curtis Angst
He died with the five other service members in the March 12 crash.
“Curtis was incredibly proud to serve our country, and we are committed to honoring his life and legacy,” she said.
Simmons died in the March 12 crash in Iraq.
“He didn’t have to be on that flight, that’s just the kind of person he was,” his father said.
Benjamin Pennington
Pennington died on March 8, after sustaining injuries “during an enemy attack” seven days earlier at the Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia, the Pentagon said on March 9. The department said that the incident is under investigation.
“Sgt. Pennington was a dedicated and experienced noncommissioned officer who led with strength, professionalism and sense of duty,” 1st Space Brigade commander Col. Michael F. Dyer said in a statement.
O’Brien died on March 1 “during an unmanned aircraft system attack” in Port Shuaiba, Kuwait, that killed five other service members, the Pentagon said on March 4. The department said that the incident is under investigation.
“It was instilled in him to recognize that when people need help or a job needs done, you do it because it is the right thing to do,” his family continued. “Growing up, whether it was waking up early to help his Grandfather to tend livestock, baling straw on the family farm, or raising flags for his local parish on Memorial Day and July 4th, Jeff would always put others ahead of himself.”
Robert Marzan
He was at the site of the March 1 attack in Kuwait that killed O’Brien and four other service members, and the Pentagon said on March 4 that it believed he also died in the attack. The Pentagon said that a medical examiner will confirm this.
“He would do anything for you, and family and friends meant the most to him,” Marzan’s childhood friend told KCRA. “He was an amazing husband, father, brother, nephew, uncle, and friend. You always knew he cared deeply about the people in his life.”
Sgt. 1st Class Nicole Amor was 39 and resided in White Bear Lake, Minnesota. She enlisted in the National Guard in 2005, working as an automated logistics specialist, according to the Army Reserve. In 2006, she transferred to the Army Reserve. She was deployed to Kuwait and Iraq in 2019.
She died on March 1 in the attack in Kuwait, according to the Pentagon.
“She was almost home,” her husband told the news outlet. “You don’t go to Kuwait thinking something’s going to happen, and for her to be one of the first—it hurts.”

Coady, who was a student at Drake University, joined the Army Reserve in 2023, working as an Army information technology specialist.
