Their Story
The ARMY, PROVINCIAL RECONSTRUCTION TEAM, DIVISIONAL TRAINING CENTER, STB, 4 ID, FORT HOOD, TX, sent Altaie, Ahmed Kousay of ANN ARBOR, MI, then 46, ? SSG ? to Iraq.
He did not survive OIF. The ARMY recorded his death on February 22, 2012 in BAGHDAD, IRAQ, from HOSTILE.
In the later years of OIF, the surge had reduced violence significantly. But Americans continued to die ? IEDs, snipers, crashes ? as the mission shifted toward transition and withdrawal.
The ARMY classified his death as "HOSTILE" ? a category that matters to the families who must make sense of it. His name is documented in the Defense Casualty Analysis System at https://dcas.dmdc.osd.mil/dcas/app/conflictCasualties/oif.
