Their Story
From YORBA LINDA, CA, CPL Patino, Claudio Iv, serving with 3D BN 7TH MAR, (RCT-2, I MEF FWD) 1ST MAR DIV, TWENTYNINE PALMS, CA, was 22 years old when he deployed with the MARINE CORPS to Afghanistan, Philippines, Horn of Africa.
He did not survive OEF. The MARINE CORPS recorded his death on June 22, 2010 in HELMAND PROVINCE, AFGHANISTAN, from HOSTILE.
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 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/oef.
