Their Story
Hutchings, Nolen Ryan of BOILING SPRINGS, SC, 20 years old, served in the MARINE CORPS with HQSVCCO, 1ST BN, 2D MAR, 2D MEB, CAMP LEJEUNE, NC at the rank of PVT ? one of the Americans deployed to Iraq.
He did not survive OIF. The MARINE CORPS recorded his death on March 23, 2003 in AN NASIRIYAH, IRAQ, from 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.
