The NAVY, EODMU ELEVEN, OAK HARBOR, WA, sent Chaney, Jeffrey Lucas of OMAHA, NE, then 35, ? PO1 ? to Iraq.
On July 17, 2007, he died in SAMARRA, IRAQ ? HOSTILE ?. His name entered the Defense Casualty Analysis System that day.
The years 2005?2007 were OIF's deadliest. Sectarian violence surged after the 2006 bombing of the al-Askari shrine in Samarra. American troops were caught between militias, insurgents, and a government that barely functioned.
The NAVY 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.
