From NEWARK, NJ, SSG Oliveira, Jorge Miguel, serving with HHC, 2ND BN, 113TH INFANTRY REGIMENT, 50TH INFANTRY BRIGADE COMBAT TEAM, RIVERDALE, NJ, was 33 years old when he deployed with the ARMY to Afghanistan, Philippines, Horn of Africa.

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.
