Their Story
The ARMY, A CO, 1ST BN, 5TH SPECIAL FORCES GROUP (AIRBORNE), FORT CAMPBELL KY 42223, sent Tarlavsky, Michael Yury of PASSAIC, NJ, then 30, ? CPT ? to Iraq.
Killed on August 12, 2004 in NAJAF, IRAQ ? HOSTILE ?, Tarlavsky, Michael Yury was one of the 4418 Americans the country lost in Operation Iraqi Freedom.
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.
