Their Story
Reeves, Robert James of SHREVEPORT, LA, 32 years old, served in the NAVY with DEVGROUP at the rank of SCPO ? one of the Americans deployed to Afghanistan, Philippines, Horn of Africa.
He did not survive OEF. The NAVY recorded his death on August 6, 2011 in WARDAK 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 NAVY 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.
