Their Story
Serving as CPL Brownfield, Andrew David, from CLINTON, OH, at age 24, with MWSS-374, MWSG-37, 3D MAW, TWENTYNINE PALMS, CA, he went to Iraq with the MARINE CORPS. He did not come home.
On March 18, 2004, the MARINE CORPS lost CPL Brownfield, Andrew David in AL ASAD, IRAQ. He was 24. The MARINE CORPS recorded the cause as HOSTILE.
In the first year of occupation, military victory gave way to an insurgency the US hadn't planned for. Disbanding the Iraqi army created a vacuum. Armed groups filled it immediately.
The MARINE CORPS 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.
