Their Story
The ARMY, COMPANY B, 1ST SQUADRON, 2D STRYKER CAVALRY REGIMENT, VILSECK, GERMANY, sent Nettleton, Eric Marcel of WICHITA, KS, then 26, ? SSG ? to Afghanistan, Philippines, Horn of Africa.
On January 5, 2011, he died in FOB TARIN KOWT, AFGHANISTAN ? HOSTILE ?. His name entered the Defense Casualty Analysis System that day.
In the final years of OEF, a surge had been deployed and drawn down. The Taliban had outlasted every strategy. The Afghan army the US built would collapse six years after OEF ended.
The ARMY 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/oef.
