Their Story
A Active Duty member of the ARMY ? HHC, 1ST BATTALION, 36TH INFANTRY REGIMENT, 1ST BCT, FORT BLISS, TEXAS ? serving as SSG, Phillips, Francis Gene Iv was 28 and came from MERIDAN, NY.
The date recorded for his death: May 4, 2013. Location: MAIWAND, AFGHANISTAN. Cause: 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 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.
