Their Story
GYSGT Obleas-prado Pena, Javier, 36 years old, grew up in FALLS CHURCH, VA and served as Active Duty in the MARINE CORPS with 2D RECON BN, 2D MAR DIV, CAMP LEJEUNE, NC during Operation Iraqi Freedom.
On December 1, 2004, he died in LANDSTUHL, GERMANY ? 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.
