Their Story
A Reserve member of the ARMY ? COMPANY C 1ST BATTALION 22D INFANTRY, FORT HOOD, TX 76544 ? serving as 1LT, Orozco, Osbaldo was 26 and came from LOS ANGELES, CA.
He did not survive OIF. The ARMY recorded his death on April 25, 2003 in 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 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/oif.
