- On March 7, 2026, a dignified transfer at Dover Air Force Base returned six U.S. soldiers killed March 1 in a drone strike at Shuaiba Port, Kuwait amid U.S.-Israel military actions.
- The six soldiers were all assigned to the 103rd Sustainment Command in Des Moines, Iowa, as reservists comprising five men and one woman aged 20 to 54.
- An honor guard carried flag-draped transfer cases from the aircraft to awaiting vehicles, and families observed the roughly half-hour ritual in silence.
- Having hosted a March 7 summit in Florida, Trump attended the transfer alongside families of the six soldiers, with U.S. officials warning fighting could intensify.
- The ritual is among the most solemn duties a U.S. president performs, with Trump attending several such dignified transfers, including recently, in the context of the broader U.S.-Iran conflict.
