Their Story
A Active Duty member of the MARINE CORPS ? D CO, 2D LAR BN, RCT-1, 1ST MAR DIV, CAMP PENDLETON, CA ? serving as LCPL, Dougherty, Scott Eugene was 20 and came from BRADENTON, FL.
On July 6, 2004, he died in AL ANBAR PROVINCE, IRAQ ? HOSTILE ?. His name entered the Defense Casualty Analysis System that day.
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.
