Their Story
Staff Sgt. Alexandria Mae Morrow was a 25-year-old U.S. Air Force maintainer from Dansville, New York. She was assigned to the 366th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, based at Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho, and deployed in support of Operation Inherent Resolve.
Morrow died on March 22, 2017, in Amman, Jordan. According to the Department of Defense, her death was a non-combat incident under investigation. She was reportedly performing maintenance duties at the time. No further operational details of the incident were publicly released.
Operation Inherent Resolve, the U.S.-led coalition campaign against the Islamic State (ISIS), began in August 2014. By 2017, coalition forces were engaged in intense combat operations to recapture key urban strongholds like Mosul in Iraq and Raqqa in Syria. Personnel in supporting roles, including maintenance crews in locations like Jordan, were critical to the air campaign.
The Air Force notified Morrow's next of kin. Her death was reported by military news outlets and her hometown newspaper. She was posthumously promoted from Senior Airman to the rank of Staff Sergeant.
Morrow was remembered by her squadron commander as a dedicated professional. Her name is listed on the Air Force Memorial Wall and on a memorial at Mountain Home Air Force Base.
